[gentoo-user] No man page for traceroute?

Why would there be no traceroute(8) man page on my laptop?

An older x86 box has it and displays it without fuss.

It seems that the man page has been dropped from the package. Only the
old 2.0.3 version from sourceforge still contains it. I couldn't find
any mention on on bugs.g.o or traceroute-devel.

I have traceroute-2.0.18 installed, and I do have the man page.

Thanks for confirming this.

It is somewhat odd that it is not included.  There is a page for traceroute6 
which asks the user to refer to the traceroute(8)    o_O

I think I'll copy it over from my old box, but I suspect it may be removed 
again by later man page packages?

Oh, right. I've found the man page in the source tarballs. It just
changed location.

There is a bug in the original make file for 2.0.15 with a patch in the
portage tree. That probably causes the man page to be missing from the
install but my make-fu is not sufficient to verify that.

I am getting confused.  x86 box has traceroute-2.0.15 with man page, while 
amd_64 box has same version and no man page.

USE flag maybe?  Check package.use to make sure you didn't put something 
in there.  I always forget to check that.  This from the guy that copies 
kernel symlinks.

I bet the man-page disappears when you re-emerge traceroute. According
to changelog, the patch I mentioned in a different message was
introduced without changing the revision number (it doesn't have to
because it just fixes a build problem). If you emerged traceroute-2.0.15
before the patch was applied, you got the man-page. Afterwards, it is lost.

OK!  This at least explains why remerging today did not add the man page.

Thanks for shedding a light on this.
