This was caused by gac(1) calling itself "GAC" (capitalised) in its NAME section, which produced an extra reference in man-db's database, and it didn't notice the duplication when determining its list of candidate pages to display. I just fixed this upstream as part of fixing bug #389762: Mon Dec 8 10:08:45 GMT 2008 Colin Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Improve sorting and de-duplication of manual page candidates (Debian bugs #389762 and #496172). * src/man.c (struct candidate): Add ult member. (duplicate_candidates): Pare down to only check for duplication rather than trying to compare as well; the latter function is now handled entirely by compare_candidates. Compare the ultimate source file as the first test. (compare_candidates): Compare locale elements in candidate paths before comparing sections. (add_candidates): Look up the ultimate source file if necessary, and save it in the candidate structure. Use duplicate_candidates for duplicate testing only and compare_candidates for comparison. Insert elements at the latest possible position rather than the earliest possible. (try_section): Pass the ultimate source file that was already looked up here. (try_db): Adjust for new add_candidate signature. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
