--- Begin Message ---Package: dlocate Version: 0.5-0.2 Severity: normal For some reason my last post to: dlocate: duplicated -man entries http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=152207 ...hasn't gotten the bug reopened or fixed, and I can't reopen it, so rather than let something useful sink into e-oblivion, here's an abridged copy n' paste: <copy begins> ...there seems to be an assumption that full pathnames are incompatible with 'man'. That's not obvious though; on my system this works: % man /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz ...and even this works: % man `dlocate -L bash | grep ".*/man.*.gz" | sort` ...these aren't unique lines: % dlocate -man aptitude 8 aptitude 8 aptitude 8 aptitude.fr 8 aptitude 8 aptitude.fi 8 aptitude 8 aptitude 8 aptitude 8 aptitude 8 aptitude # how many dups was it? % dlocate -man aptitude | sort | uniq -cd 8 8 aptitude # 8 dups Worse, if I try this: % man `dlocate -man aptitude` ...and keep hitting 'q' & <Enter>, the same man page shows up 8 times. There are no repeats with this: % man `dlocate -L aptitude | grep ".*/man.*.gz" | sort` So for that example at least, full pathnames are better. NB: my one-liner's not perfect. Packages with many symlinks to man pages would cause repeats even with that code. Maybe the worst possible example: # how many symlinked man pages in 'manpages-dev'? % for f in `dlocate -L manpages-dev | grep ".*/man.*.gz"`; do file $f | grep symbolic ; done | wc -l 881 # <<-- that many I-yi-yi! So the ideal would be a '-man' option that eliminated symlinks, or could if desired. Displaying only the local language pages would be convenient too. Hope this helps... <copy ends> -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Versions of packages dlocate depends on: ii dpkg 1.13.17 package maintenance system for Deb ii grep-dctrl 2.9.0 Grep Debian package information - ii perl 5.8.8-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction dlocate recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
