Description Rick Morra 2004-04-14 09:44:55 UTC 
`man <POSIX-MANPAGE>` does not find manpages in 'man0p', 'man1p', and 'man3p' directories.

'/etc/man.conf' from 'sys-apps/man-1.5l-r6' includes the line
    MANSECT         1:8:2:3:4:5:6:7:9:tcl:n:l:p:o

Changing  this line to
    MANSECT         1:8:2:3:4:5:6:7:9:tcl:n:l:0p:1p:3p:o
solves the problem. But as a newbie, I'm not sure whether or not this is a kludge.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.man getconf
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Return is 'No manual entry for getconf' even though
/usr/share/man/man1p/getconf.1p.gz' exists.

Expected Results:  
Diplayed the manpage getconf(1p)

Modify man-1.5m.ebuild to add posix sections to man.conf

The above solution appears to be the right one (ref:
http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0401.2/1139.html ). This patch
adds a sed line to man-1.5m.ebuild that modifies man's configure script to add
the 0p,1p,and 3p sections to man.conf.
