Bug 95674 – Manual pages are displayes twice

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Clock 2005-06-10 05:16:17 UTC]

when I do "man -a passwd", I get twice displayed the manual page from section 1
and twice the one from section 5. Moreover I get this message:
kestrel log # man -a passwd
Man page /var/cache/man/cat1/passwd.1.bz2 is identical to
/var/cache/man/cat1/passwd.1.bz2 Man page /var/cache/man/cat5/passwd.5.bz2 is
identical to /var/cache/man/cat5/passwd.5.bz2

it's prob because of the /usr/man symlink to /usr/share/man
