Description Kalen Petersen 2003-01-21 10:59:13 UTC

When I upgraded libpng this morning, I noticed a couple strange lines in the
output of emerge.  It appears that the library is being copied to
/usr/share/man, because of it's ending of .5.  
This of course produces strange output when running

man libpng.so.3.1.2

Following is the snippet from emerge's output where I noticed this effect.

-------------------------------------

>>> /usr/share/man/man3/libpng.3.gz
--- /usr/share/man/man5/
>>> /usr/share/man/man5/png.5.gz
>>> /usr/share/man/man5/libpng.so.3.1.2.5.gz
>>> /usr/share/man/man5/libpng12.so.0.1.2.5.gz
--- /usr/include/
>>> /usr/include/pngconf.h -> libpng12/pngconf.h

--------------------------------------


Unfortunately I don't have the time to investigate this further.

fixed in cvs, thanks for pointing this out ...
just FYI, it installs the library files into both /usr/lib and /usr/share/man
... so your system is fine in terms of compiling stuff against libpng ;)
