Description:   Opened: 2003-06-24 23:03 0000 
As documented in the man page, makewhatis can take a subsections
argument (-s). Unfortunately, this is currently broken due to the
way arguments are referenced. This is a patch Ive been using
for a while. Basicly, it allows the script to parse:
-s "1 2 3"
as "1 2 3" being one argument to -s, rather than just pairing
the '1' to -s and choking on 2 and 3 as separate args.

Confirmed, looks like an obvious flaw in their logic.

assigning to me...

This has been fixed in man-1.5m2, with the same fix you suggested :)

1.5m2 should be in portage shortly.

RESOLVED, FIXED.
