The name of the system is xxxxxxxxxx, you should be able to log in with your usual NIS credentials. If the question was re the version of the OS, it's running Factory, being updated every couple of days (for several releases now).
/suse/werner> ll /usr/share/man/man1/ksh* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49198 Feb 27 2010 /usr/share/man/man1/ksh.1.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 50554 Dec 27 19:31 /usr/share/man/man1/ksh93.1.gz .. hmmm, couple of days you said which leads me to the assumption that update-alternatives has changed its behaviour as the orignal manual page is from 2010/02/27 and indeed this was the time where update-alternatives has been added by guido+opensuse.org@berhoerster.name Michal? I'd like to ask how to avoid this problem? Should I add prein section to the spec file to remove the old manual page if it is not a link? Or does there exist an option for update-alternatives to enforce the operation? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I would say the reason why ksh is complaining is that /usr/share/man/man1/ksh.1.gz is a regular file, but the symlink to /etc/alternatives/ksh.1.gz is expected. I don't think update-alternatives should be instructed to remove files in such cases, that would be really dangerous. Instead of it ksh have to remove this file in some %scripplet if it's a regular file. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
