Package: avr-libc Version: 1:1.8.0-2 Severity: important Steps to reproduce (MANPATH is not set and /etc/manpath.config has not been modified from the default):
1. export PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:/usr/bin:/bin
2. man 3 printf
Expected result:
2. man page for printf(3) from libc is shown
Actual result:
2. man page for avr_stdio(3) from avr-libc is shown instead
The reason for this curious result can be deduced from man -d output;
man tries to intelligently match directories in PATH with manual
directories. Having any directory in /usr/lib in the path has the same
result.
------------------------------------------------------------
$ echo $MANPATH
$ PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:/usr/bin:/bin man -w 3 printf
/usr/lib/share/man/man3/avr_stdio.3
$ PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:/usr/bin:/bin man -dw 3 printf
[...]
path directory /usr/lib/ccache is not in the config file
but does have a ../man, man, ../share/man, or share/man subdirectory
adding /usr/lib/share/man to manpath
[...]
------------------------------------------------------------
Having /usr/lib/ccache in PATH is useful and normal, because it
contains the ccache wrappers for gcc. It certainly should not result
in avr-libc manpages being shown...
