Description K.O. Wilander 2005-01-16 13:27:23 UTC
I emerged xorg-x11, and in the build log I have

[...]
fixing man page symlink: SSL_alert_desc_string_long.3.gz
gzipping man page: Modes
gzip: /var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3/image/usr/X11R6/man/man7/Modes: No such file or directory
gzipping man page: of
gzip: of: No such file or directory
gzipping man page: DES.7
gzip: DES.7: No such file or directory
fixing man page symlink: disable.8.gz
[...]

It seems a lot of non-X manpages are being gzipped (further examples on request).  This one, in particular is an OpenSSL one (and it's a symlink, now dangling, since the target was gzipped a long time ago, but the fixing up seems to have failed, probably for similar reasons -- or should I open a bug on OpenSSL too?).

The symlink `Modes of DES.7' really does exist (in /usr/share/man/man7) so it seems that there is some missing quoting in the call to gzip?  

There's at least one non-OpenSSL example too.

This might also relate to bug 62347 and bug 77116 (but there seems to be some differences).

I have, obviously, installed OpenSSL.  I was running emerge --deep --newuse
world at the time.  Though it seems likely to be overkill, heres `emerge info`
