• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Matt T. Proud 2004-11-10 20:34:02 UTC]

When merging openssl, this happens:

>>> /usr/share/man/man3/ERR_load_crypto_strings.3.gz
>>> /usr/share/man/man3/SSL_load_error_strings.3.gz -> ERR_load_crypto_strings.3.gz
>>> /usr/share/man/man3/ERR_free_strings.3.gz -> ERR_load_crypto_strings.3.gz
>>> /usr/share/man/man3/ERR_load_strings.3.gz
>>> /usr/share/man/man3/ERR_PACK.3.gz -> ERR_load_strings.3.gz
>>> /usr/share/man/man3/ERR_get_next_error_library.3.gz -> ERR_load_strings.3.gz
>>> /usr/share/man/man3/ERR_print_errors.3.gz
>>> /usr/share/man/man3/ERR_print_errors_fp.3.gz -> ERR_print_errors.3.gz
>>> /usr/share/man/man3/ERR_put_error.3.gz
>>> /usr/share/man/man3/ERR_add_error_data.3.gz -> ERR_put_error.3.gz
