Description Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-28 04:26:27 UTC
The reason is the /usr/man -> share/man symlink. I don't know if this is a Gentoo or KDE problem.

e.g. (german locale) "man -w man" points to "/usr/share/man/de/man1/man.1.gz", while man:man in konqueror produces the following list:

/usr/share/man/de/man1/man.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz
/usr/man/de/man1/man.1.gz
/usr/man/man1/man.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man7/man.7.gz
/usr/man/man7/man.7.gz
/usr/share/man/man1p/man.1p.gz
/usr/man/man1p/man.1p.gz

That konqueror lists every related man page in english and german is fine, but twice!?

3.2.1 only lists them once for me - and my /usr/man -> share/man.
Comment 2 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-28 13:20:27 UTC
Hm, seems to be a local problem. I experienced this problem with KDE 3.2.1 too (3.2.2 now), but everything in /etc/* is fine.

`man -a man` shows me the three man pages and informs me about the symlinked ones afterwards. Konqueror is ... more verbose.

But o.k., if its only my problem, then let's forget it.

btw. Bryan Østergaard managed to convince me to maintain a few ebuilds (Bug 47265). I could take a few kde related ones, too (having your "portaged sir" comment in mind), if you still need a bit of help. I haven't submitted my quiz yet, though.

would love to have you help.  let me know as you progress.

dunno if it's just a local problem or not; possibly a configuration setting somewhere..
