Bugzilla Bug 32584

The above bug illustrates the problem of installing subchapters in the same man
dir (ie, foo.3f or foo.3pm installed in man3/, with a symlink from man3f/ or
man3pm/).  In this case, man fails to see foo.3, and displays foo.3f for both
commands:

man 3 foo
man 3f foo

Perhaps doman should install foo.3f in man3f/, foo.3pm in man3pm/, etc, and do
away with the symlink silliness.  Of course, many makefiles, and the resulting
ebuilds, do the same symlink behavior...  But fixing doman would be a start.

nick: the fix here is simple; update the egrep in doman to recognize trailing
{f,p,pm} ... try to slip in for portage 2.0.51 ? :)

maybe something like this: (the 0-9 is on purpose; the man-pages package
defines them as valid)
egrep -q 'man[0-9n](f|p|pm)?$'

are there any other subchapters ?  i looked in my mandir and didnt see any ...

Fixed on or before 2.0.51.22-r1 

Looking through the batch of bugs, I'm not sure that some of these are 
actually fixed in stable. Others, the requirements have possibly changed after 
the initial fix was committed.
