• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Hi,

after installation of lineakd-0.8.2 the man-page of lineakd is misnamed and thus being shown garbled (man lineakd).

when portage calls "make install" on the package the file lineakd.1.bz2 gets copied into the image-directory:
/bin/install -c -p -m 644 ./lineakd.1.bz2 /var/tmp/portage/lineakd-0.8.2/image//usr/share/man/man1/lineakd.1.bz2

But after qmerge is done the man-page looks like this:

/usr/share/man/man1/lineakd.1.bz2.gz

It's been packed once again with gzip.

My first idea was to add these lines at the end of the ebuild but maybe there is a cleaner solution for this problem:

pkg_postinst() {
        einfo "Fixing man-page"
        gunzip /usr/share/man/man1/lineakd.1.bz2.gz
}

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge lineakd
2. ls /usr/share/man/man1/lineakd*

post 51.18 commited, so either 51.19 or a .51.18.-rN release

Still happens with portage-cvs for me :(

>>> /usr/share/man/man1/lineakd.1.bz2.gz
>>> /usr/share/man/man1/evtest.1.bz2.gz
--- /usr/share/man/man8/
>>> /usr/share/man/man8/send_to_keyboard.8.bz2.gz

Looking through the batch of bugs, I'm not sure that some of these are 
actually fixed in stable. Others, the requirements have possibly changed after 
the initial fix was committed. 
 
If you think this bug has been closed incorrectly, please reopen or ask that
