Bug 618294 – app-eselect/eselect-postgresql-2.0 does not support noman feature

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrew Aladjev 2017-05-12 14:24:41 UTC]

Hello. I've found a small nasty issue. Please open "/usr/share/eselect/modules/postgresql.eselect"

```
# Link man pages
local mandir mansec
for mandir in "${USR_PATH}"/share/postgresql-${slot}/man/man{1,3,7} ; do
    mansec=$(basename "${mandir}")
    linker "${mandir}" "" "${USR_PATH}/share/man/${mansec}"
done

# Default share path - use a relative link here by just specifying the
# base name
ln -s "postgresql-${slot}" "${USR_PATH}/share/postgresql"

echo "success!"
```

When you have no man directory "share/man" doesn't exist, so linker will fail. Postgresql ebuild itself will ignore this error. Why?

When you have no `/usr/share/postgresql` symlink eselect won't see any postgresql installed and postgresql become unusable.
