freebsd-manpages maintainer: Do you think it would be possible to remove that manpage from your package? I do not want our packages conflict (it does not do the same task), and it would be pointless to use the alternatives system for manpages. If it's possible, please remove the manpage from freebsd-manpages. In eighter case, please reply asap (directly to me too).
how come you use ipfw.4 as a name $ dpkg -L ipchains |grep ipfw /sbin/ipfwadm-wrapper /usr/share/man/man4/ipfw_chains.4.gz /usr/share/man/man4/ipfw-ipchainsalternative.4.gz /usr/share/man/man8/ipfwadm-wrapper.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/ipfwadm-ipchainsalternative.8.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Sep 27 2005 /usr/share/man/man4/ipfw.4.gz -> /etc/alternatives/ipfw.4.gz could you not just remove the symlink or rename it to ip_fw? i don't know... i'll check with #gnu-kbsd on irc.gnu.org yours, gürkan
