There is nothing to fix IMNSVHO. === Found the problem... thanks...

had a /usr/share/man/man8/lvcreate.8 that was being shown in preference to: /usr/share/man/man8/lvcreate.8.gz --- rpm -qf showed the uncompressed version was 'unowned'... so nuking it revealed the correct manpage. That makes for a good suggestion -- maybe a package when installing it's manpage should check to see that the manpage won't be overridden by an uncompress copy or a copy in a different compression format? I've seen manpages in bz2 fairly often, and would expect to see manpages in .xz format "real soon now"... So making sure alternate formats get cleaned out when installing new versions seems like it would be a good thing to do?? -- seems like it should be automatically done as part of install, so packages wouldn't have to change... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

rpm should not remove unowned files on its own, they may exist for a reason.

Like producing an unreliable outcome after an install? In this case, just renaming them to foo.1[.gz].rpmold or something would save the file but keep it from being fetched. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
