By accident, I found out, that apparently executing "rpm --eval %_mandir" reports wrongly "/usr//usr/share/man".

The background was, that dev-util/statifier was using as fallback "rpm --eval %_mandir" to get the man page dir, which is anyway wrong.

Could be related to wrong EPREFIX?

This seems present in all versions in tree:

4.20.0:
$ rpm --eval %_mandir
/usr//usr/share/man

4.20.1:
$ rpm --eval %_mandir
/usr//usr/share/man
