Description Alvaro Figueroa (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-17 19:12:33 UTC 
While emerging xearth-1.1, I get the following error:
doman: 'xearth.man' is probably not a man page.

The result of this, is the xearth package not having a man page.
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2002-12-18 02:18:33 UTC 
doman looks at the file ending to determine where to put the manpage ...
in other words if it isnt of the format name.[1-9] then doman has no
idea where to put it
