bump. I didn't dare to propose a fix as the qmail ebuild is a bit scary, but as there's a similar hack already in there I think it's as simple as --- /usr/portage/mail-mta/qmail/qmail-1.03-r16.ebuild 2006-07-01 21:39:01.000000000 +0200 +++ qmail-1.03-r16.ebuild 2006-07-20 07:46:18.000000000 +0200 @@ -365,6 +365,8 @@ # Don't install this one, it's provided by ucspi-tcp, bug #127005 rm tcp-environ.5 + # This is provided by man-pages. bug #137207 + rm error.3 into /usr einfo "Installing manpages" I am not sure wether the pages describe the same thing though, so probably a rename would be better instead.

Yes, I looked them up and the qmail one looks very basic on comparison. Looks like all the *.3 pages are documentation for the header files. Since they all use names very similar to general linux syscalls, headerfiles or utilities, perhaps they shouldn't be installed by the ebuild at all, or at least under a different name? coe.3 error.3 fd_move.3 now.3 wait.3 alloc.3 datetime.3 error_str.3 fifo_make.3 sgetopt.3 case.3 direntry.3 error_temp.3 getln.3 stralloc.3 cdb.3 env.3 fd_copy.3 getln2.3 subgetopt.3
6 months on... Is this bug waiting on something inparticular?

AFAIK mail-mta/qmail has been deprecated in favour of netqmail. So in case netqmail does not have that problem I suggest to close this bug. Otherwise, just do not install the *.3 man pages - they are only be interesting to qmail developers, not to normal qmail users.
I just migrated from qmail to netqmail and ran into this issue, so the problem is not solved for netqmail.

Bump for this bug. man-pages just got updated to 2.44 and still collide with mail-mta/(net)qmail. Suggest a review of line 186 of the netqmail ebuild: 186 doman *.[1-8] *.3 man pages are definitely not relevant to users and should not be installed into $MANDIR because of collisions with man-pages. some of the *.1 man pages also look suspicious (e.g., except.1) but do not collide with anything ATM.

These are valid programs which are used in dot-qmail files (~/.qmail*, etc.).

AFAICS either: 1) Not at all, not relevant to users. 2) Somewhere in /usr/share/doc/netqmail-XX for those who really need them (but qmail *developers* can be expected to be working with the source tree anyway) 3) Rename them to e.g. qmail-error.3 and install to $MANDIR/man3 as usual. I like 3 but its your choice. --- netqmail-1.05-r7.ebuild_ 2007-04-12 10:35:02.000000000 +0200 +++ netqmail-1.05-r7.ebuild 2007-04-12 10:35:05.000000000 +0200 @@ -182,6 +182,10 @@ qreceipt qsmhook sendmail tcp-env einfo "Installing manpages" + for f in *.3 + do + mv $f qmail-${f} + done into /usr doman *.[1-8]
bump. Issue remains for newly-released -r8. It keeps two arguably important packages from being installed for a really trivial reason - repeating comment #4 what is this bug waiting for in particular?

Renaming or even leaving out manpages isn't one because it would alter the upstream packaged (net)qmail too much. How about introducing our own man section? X also has its own.

Only side-effect is that "man error" (etc.) will find qmails error page before the one from man-pages - not sure how to fix that. This is undesireable because most of those pages LOOK like they are documenting linux/libc header files (most make no mention of qmail anywhere) but contain information which is outright WRONG for linux/libc headers. In addition, the qmail headers they do document are not even installed by the ebuild -- so installing their man pages to $MANPATH makes even less sense. I repeat my suggestion to not install those pages, or install them somewhere where they do not mask useful information, e.g. $DOCDIR.
I had to mark 1.05-r8 stable today because of a serious problem with OpenSSL 0.9.8e. However, I'll address the man pages issue in -r9.

qmail team: What do you want to do with this bug? If there is no comment in the next few days, I'll just have netqmail not install the man pages that collide with sys-apps/man-pages.
fixed in 1.06
