Description:   Opened: 2003-11-02 14:50 0000
NetCDF is an example of software with both C and Fortran APIs, and UCAR does
the
manpages as foo.3 (for the C docs) and foo.3f (for the Fortran docs).  The
NetCDF ebuild installs them both in man3/, with a symlink to the foo.3f page in
man3f/.

This causes only the foo.3f page to be visible, whether you try "man 3 foo" or
"man 3 f foo".  If the real foo.3f man page is moved from man3/ to man3f/ then
it works correctly.  I don't know if there's a better fix or not.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. man 3 netcdf
2. man 3 f netcdf
3. ls -l /usr/share/man/man3/netcdf*

Actual Results:  
Steps 1 and 2 display the same man page (netcdf.3f).

Expected Results:  
Step 1 should display netcdf.3

I could use some help with this one, plus my new UCAR package has a perl
modules...

moved netcdf.3f to the right place
