[Bug 1026958] New: man not working as expected
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1026958 Bug ID: 1026958 Summary: man not working as expected Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Documentation Assignee: fs@suse.com Reporter: dieter.jurzitza@t-online.de QA Contact: fs@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- When attempting to access manpages an unexpected behavior can be observed on leap 42.2. man systemd.mount brings "Kein Handbucheintrag für systemd.mount vorhanden" man 5 systemd.mount brings the expected, the manpage for systemd.mount. The file exists and can be found in the apropriate location /usr/share/man/man5/systemd.mount.5.gz. The permissions are as expected. I cannot observe this on leap 42.1. The file /etc/manpath.conf do not differ between leap-42.1 and leap-42.2, this cannot be the reason. Moreover, MANPATH shows identical results on both systems. Downgrading man from the version on leap-42.2 to the version on leap-42.1 does not help. The strange thing: some manpages may be accessed sometimes, for example man auto.master may work, sometimes even systemd.mount is functional, but in the very moment I start a new xterm and say man systemd.mount or man auto.master it doesn't work any more. man 5 systemd.mount works always as readily mentioned, however, this implies you know the section where the corresponding manpage can be found - this should not be required. Thank you for looking into this, regards Dieter Jurzitza -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
