Upgrading to or reinstalling util-linux-2.13_pre6, man pages are not installed due to an incorrect installation path: --- /usr/usr/ --- /usr/usr/share/ --- /usr/usr/share/man/ --- /usr/usr/share/man/man1/ >>> /usr/usr/share/man/man1/mcookie.1 >>> /usr/usr/share/man/man1/pg.1 >>> /usr/usr/share/man/man1/ul.1 >>> /usr/usr/share/man/man1/ddate.1 >>> /usr/usr/share/man/man1/colrm.1 etc. The same thing happens to the locale data (/usr/usr/share/locale/vi/LC_MESSAGES/util-linux.mo etc.) but not the docs (/usr/share/doc/util-linux-2.13_pre6/examples/shells.gz). Downgrading to 2.12r-r3 puts the man pages where they belong. emerge --info Portage 2.1_pre5-r4 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0, gcc-3.4.5, glibc-2.3.5-r3, 2.6.15-ck3-r1 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.15-ck3-r1 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre16 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r1, 2.16.91.0.3, 2.16.91.0.5, 2.16.91.0.6 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r4 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib64/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache confcache distlocks nostrip sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org/" LC_ALL="en_US" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/bmg-main /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X aac alsa avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo cdr crypt cups dbus debug dvd dvdr eds emboss encode esd firefox flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal imlib ipv6 java jpeg kde ldap lzw lzw-tiff mad mono mozilla mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl ogg opengl pam pdflib perl pic png python qt quicktime readline ruby samba sdl spell sqlite ssl tcpd theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb userlocales vorbis xml2 xpm xv zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_evdev kernel_linux userland_GNU video_cards_vga video_cards_vesa video_cards_nv" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS
so post a patch :P 2.13 *is* masked
(In reply to comment #1) > so post a patch :P > I wish I understood autotools/etc. so that I could. Downgrading to the earlier version is not a problem for me, I just wanted to point out an error I found so when this does get unmasked it doesn't cause problems for others.
> I wish I understood autotools/etc. so that I could. fair enough, i wouldnt wish that on anyone fixed in cvs
