Description Matt Rechkemmer 2007-12-30 11:57:35 UTC

During the merge, there's a complaint that a link to /usr/share/man/man1/ruby.1.bz2 cannot be created.  Since Ruby was never installed on this system, it should be able to make the link.  I went in and manually made the link to ruby18.1.bz2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  USE="doc ipv6 examples" emerge dev-lang/ruby-1.8.6_p111
2a. man ruby
2b. ls -l /usr/share/man/man1/ruby.1.bz2
Actual Results:  
The ruby man page is missing.

Expected Results:  
The link should be created and the man page should be available.

Comment 1 Matt Rechkemmer 2007-12-30 12:27:21 UTC

Here's the exact complaint from another machine without Ruby:

Unable to establish /usr/share/man/man1/ruby.1.gz symlink
