Multiple ebuilds merge /usr/share/man/man1/ansi2knr.1.gz. The ones I've noticed
are app-text/ghostscript and sys-apps/acct, but I'd imagine there are others
that use this tool so may have the same problem.
This causes file collisions, and is simply the wrong thing to do anyway.
ansi2knr (even if it were used, which I don't think it is with gcc) is only a
compile utility. It is not relevant to the packages, and should not be merged
at all.
What I meant is that the man page should not be merged. The tool itself is not
merged, which is an additional reason the man page shouldn't be, either. ;)
acct just installed it by accident because it globbed for all manpages (*.[18])
removed it in the ebuild so acct no longer installs the manpage since it doesnt install the ansi2knr binary too
thanks for the report !
Thanks much, vapier! I hope it's ok if I reopen and reassign to printing so the
Ghostscript side can be fixed, cuz that's what I'm doing. :P
Just merged app-text/ghostscript-7.07.1-r8 (latest I see in the tree)...
ansi2knr.1.gz remains. My sync was over eight hours after comment #4. It should
have propogated by now, right?
Leaving this closed for the moment in case I'm mistaken. I'll check on it again
later.
sorry, there was a bug in it (tried to delete the gzipped versions, but they
are only created after src_install), please try again
Confirmed fixed now. Thank ye!
