When upgrading man, /etc/man.conf will include: CMP /opt/bitkeeper-3.0.1/cmp -s which isn't a good idea. Sure, I won't probably remove bitkeeper from my system anytime soon, but for man to use that cmp version could present unwanted confusion when bitkeeper is removed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
This seems to happen because the configure script for man scans $PATH to find cmp, and records this in /etc/man.conf. The BitKeeper ebuilds modify the environment so that BK commands are in the $PATH, but /opt/bitkeeper-${PV} ends up placed before /usr/bin. Consequently /opt/bitkeeper-${PV}/cmp is referenced in /etc/man.conf. bitkeeper-3.0.1-r2.ebuild, bug #21638, resolves this bug.
I just added bitkeeper 3.0.2 with the changes suggested by Evan Powers in bug #21638. Please test and let me know if it fixes this bug.
