Description jochem prins 2003-03-20 09:39:08 UTC
When i unmerged older ebuilds of samba and man i noticed that their related
directories in /usr/share/doc weren't removed, despite the fact that both newer
ebuilds installed their own documentation in /usr/share/doc. Perhaps an rm -Rf
/usr/share/doc/$package-$version should be included in these ebuilds?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install samba-2.2.8_pre2 or man-1.5
2.remove samba-2.2.8_pre2 or man-1.5, by means of emerge -C
3.check /usr/share/doc it should contain still a directory for samba-2.2.8_pre2
or man-1.5

Actual Results:  
Already described in the details section, so no need for it here.

Expected Results:  
See the details section.

Portage 2.0.47-r10 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.2-r0)
