Same with diffutils and /usr/share/man/man1/diff.1.gz Radek module-init-tools-0.9.12-r1, too... :-( There seem to be dozens of them... :-( Radek I wonder if it's better to filter out the coreutils provided versions or the man-pages provided versions my immediate thought is that its nicer to have homogenic packages, IE coreutils provides coreutils manpages. However after comparing man-pages and coreutils man cp, I had to change my opinion. :-/ I'd suggest dumping the coreutils manpages. I've patched coreutils not install the man pages that man-pages installs I've also patched attr to not install the man pages that man-pages installs spider, there's a few more things now: I've patched out attr's man2 man pages, because there were just a few real ones, and the rest were symlinks whereas man-pages installed separate man pages for each thingy (I'm assuming, knowing nothing about attr, that that is better, since the separate man pages were unique) oh, I also patched diffutils (forgot to mention in my earlier comment) I've found 2 further conflicts: root sephora # qpkg -f /usr/share/man/man3/err.3.gz dev-libs/openssl * sys-apps/man-pages * root sephora # qpkg -f /usr/share/man/man3/getspnam.3.gz sys-apps/man-pages * sys-apps/shadow * Spanky, for openssl, can you have a look at both and make a judgement call on which is better please? tetex has now been patched to NOT install a readlink man page. fixed: console-tools, shadow, quota |
