Package: man-db Version: 2.5.4-2 Severity: normal I wanted to lookup dh(1) so typed "man dh" and I ended in dh(3ssl).
I didn't change the man configuration: $ man --location dh /usr/share/man/fr/man3/dh.3SSL.gz $ man --all --location dh /usr/share/man/fr/man3/dh.3SSL.gz /usr/share/man/man1/dh.1.gz $ echo $MANSECT $ grep SECTION /etc/manpath.config # the default is 1, n, l, 8, 3, 2, 5, 4, 9, 6, 7. Multiple SECTION SECTION 1 n l 8 3 2 3posix 3pm 3perl 5 4 9 6 7 At first glance, it looks like the section scan is done inside each language instead of globally. manpages-fr-extra is the package providing dh(3ssl). -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-1-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages man-db depends on: ii bsdmainutils 6.1.10 collection of more utilities from ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.26 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.15.1 Debian package management system ii groff-base 1.18.1.1-22 GNU troff text-formatting system ( ii libc6 2.9-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-4 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-13 compression library - runtime man-db recommends no packages.
