There is no support for other than manpages in libalternatives, so this is out of scope. The only thing that can be done here is the manpage should be patched to refer to `info mailutils mail` instead of just generic name.
This is not correct ... on my Tumbleweed I get for
info mail
the section mail from mailutils! How this?
Yes, I see that too. It works for me as well. I even removed mailx and just have mu-mail installed and I get same infopage as before. The manpage did change to the one that Matej sees but info page still works. # info -w mail /usr/share/info/mailutils.info.gz Mateh, what do you see here? There should be 3 files as part of mailutils, # ls /usr/share/info/mailutils.info* /usr/share/info/mailutils.info-1.gz /usr/share/info/mailutils.info-2.gz /usr/share/info/mailutils.info.gz # rpm -qV mailutils no errors? But this is not configured via alts? Right? The filetriggers to update the directory are different and just create general index AFAIK.
IMHO, it's broken to refer to non-explicit names in the first place. Generic names are substitutable but actual programs are not. manpage for mailutils mail should refer to info mailutils mail. mailx manpage is much nicer.
I'm not the author nor upstream of mailutils and I'll not write manual pages for mailutils. And as told on my Tumbleweed the pointer to the subsection of mail in mailutils info pages works flawless
suse/werner> grep mail: /usr/share/info/dir * decodemail: (mailutils) decodemail. Decode MIME messages. * mail: (mailutils) mail. Send and Receive Mail. * movemail: (mailutils) movemail. Move Mail between Mailboxes.
NO idea why on Matej Tumbleweed the /usr/share/info/dir seems to be broken
Works for me too. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
