[Bug 1160568] New: mandoc vs man vs man-pages
http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1160568 Bug ID: 1160568 Summary: mandoc vs man vs man-pages Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: mcepl@suse.com Reporter: lnussel@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de CC: pgajdos@suse.com, werner@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- mandoc provides several files that were so far shippped with other packages, like /usr/bin/man, /usr/bin/makewhat or /usr/share/man/man7/man.7.gz. An attempt was made to use update-alternatives to avoid conflicts. Update-alternatives is pretty fragile though. Right now mandoc tries to install /usr/share/man/man7/man.7.gz as slave of /usr/bin/man. However, since the man pages comes from the man-pages packages, and the binary from the man package, it is not actually a slave. So update-alternatives fails and mandoc is not functional at all as update-alternatives doesn't install any of the other symlinks at all if one fails. How about simply conflicting instead of using the fragile update-alternative way? I somehow doubt that having both man and mandoc has much benefit anyways? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
