Description James 2005-12-10 22:00:29 UTC
... At least I think it's a bad man path - if I install pd-0.39_p1 on my system,
it installs the man pages for pd, pdsend and pdreceive to
/usr/usr/share/man/man1, creating a /usr/usr directory for them, too. I suspect
that this should be /usr/share/man/, instead, like most of the other programs
use. I'm guessing that this is a problem with the ebuild and not the source, but
so far I haven't dug down into things to see what's up - if the problem is not
in the ebuild, it's probably upstream of Gentoo in the source code, itself.
Other installation paths look OK.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge pd
2.do a "man pd"
3.

Actual Results:  
The pd man page is not found.

Expected Results:  
I'd expect to see pd's man page, since it's being installed.

Since the program still works (I guess - haven't actually started it yet, since
I wanted to look at its documentation, first), and there's an easy workaround
either copying the docs to the /usr/share/man1 directory or setting up symbolic
links to them where they sit, I'd rate this pretty minor; it is also probably
pretty easy to fix... Here's the "emerge info", though I'm pretty sure my setup
has nothing to do with this one:
