Description Stephane Loeuillet 2004-09-11 04:32:34 UTC

it seems that those days, X related man pages are all stored in /usr/share/man subdirectories

so, it is odd to have /etc/env.d/10xorg containing :
MANPATH=/usr/X11R6/man

it does not influence xorg own build but it at least make alevt and gnokii install one of their man page in this subdir.

wouldn't it make sense to change this ENV variable to the new shared location ?
if you feel the answer is no, feel free to close this bug as INVALID/NOTABUG

Fixed in 6.8.0, FILES_VER 0.2. Sync in an hour or so to get it.

Thanks.
