I believe the problem is with /etc/man.conf If you look at the man.conf generated by man when it compiles and the one installed in /etc you will notice several differences. For one, in our /etc/man.conf, gzip is listed as residing in /usr/bin/gzip, but in reality it exists in /bin/gzip. Also, zcat is listed as being in /usr/bin/zcat but actually is in /bin/zcat 2nd, several programs such as EQN, NEQN, TBL, ect are defined with default options and paths in man's man.conf but not in our man.conf. In paticular, adding the path for TBL fixes this paticular man page's formatting problem. I think we should use the man.conf auto generated by the man package, if that's ok with you. Fixed in man-1.5i-r3 |
