2) for our distrobox container, I think this is solved? At least, I seem to have manpages in mine...

That has been improved by now, man pages are now indeed included in distrobox. However, this does mean you have to install the same software in your container to get the man pages you're missing on your OS itself. Then I wonder, what exactly is solved with this approach? Are man pages excluded to save disk space? But if you want man pages (I suppose any interactive system does need them) then you have to jump through extra hoops to get those man pages, and add extra disk overhead since the container comes with more than just man pages. To me it seems strange to exclude man pages on the OS itself. On MicroOS I can sort of understand it, although man pages are still useful since `--help` doesn't always cut it. But since this report is about Aeon, an interactive OS with a GUI, I think it would be more user friendly to have those man pages included by default. The reason the man pages are missing is because of this: ``` grep excludedocs /etc/zypp/zypp.conf ``` On the OS itself it outputs: rpm.install.excludedocs=yes And in the distrobox it outputs to 'no'. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
