Description Jochen Trumpf 2008-05-19 11:41:53 UTC 
The coreutils-6.11 distfile (tarball) is missing at least the files man/arch.1, man/hostname.1 and man/su.1. When cross compiling this leads to an error caused by help2man failing. The touch man/*.1 logic in src_unpack() obviously can't prevent help2man from running for the missing files. Cf. also bug #92694. 


Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-30 19:33:37 UTC 
The arch manpage appears to be generated from the output of arch --help.  This, of course, fails for cross compilation.  One obvious solution is to provide the pre-generated arch manpage.  (Will the CLI options to arch actually change?)
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2009-02-22 00:13:28 UTC 
should be fixed with coreutils-7.1
