Description David Tardon 2007-04-27 20:15:21 UTC 
Man page symlinks getty.1 and renice.1 point to uncompressed target (i.e. to renice.8, not to renice.8.bz2) and aren't themselves renamed to *.1.bz2.

It seems to me this happens because ecompressdir /usr/share/man/man1 runs before ecompressdir /usr/share/man/man8. Thus, when ecompressdir man1 is running, the links are OK, but in the next moment they are invalidated by ecompressdir man8.

Version of util-linux is sys-apps/util-linux-2.12r-r6.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sys-apps/util-linux

Actual Results:  
/usr/share/man/man1/getty.1 points to /usr/share/man/man8/agetty.8
/usr/share/man/man1/renice.1 points to /usr/share/man/man8/renice.8

Expected Results:  
/usr/share/man/man1/getty.1.bz2 points to /usr/share/man/man8/agetty.8.bz2
/usr/share/man/man1/renice.1.bz2 points to /usr/share/man/man8/renice.8.bz2
