I have, very belatedly, done this for the next upstream release (man-db 2.6.0). Mon Jan 10 20:08:03 GMT 2011 Colin Watson <[email protected]> If mandb sees that A is a symlink to B, it should never store a whatis reference for B (Debian bug #204249). * src/check_mandirs.c (whatis_hashtable_free): New function. (test_manfile): Change whatis_hash free function to whatis_hashtable_free. Fetch an ult_trace structure from ult_src, record it in whatis_hash in the case of a cache miss, and pass it to store_descriptions. * src/descriptions_store.c (is_prefix): New function. (store_descriptions): Add path and trace parameters. Update all callers. * src/descriptions.h (store_descriptions): Update prototype. Count a match for any name in the provided ult_trace structure as indicating that we shouldn't create a whatis reference. If a name matches a trace entry outside the current manual hierarchy, skip that name entirely. * src/ult_src.c (ult_trace, free_ult_trace): New functions. (ult_src): Add trace parameter. Record each file name we encounter in the trace. Update all callers. * src/ult_src.h (ult_src): Update prototype. (free_ult_trace): Add prototype. * src/Makefile.am (lexgrog_SOURCES): Add filenames.c and filenames.h. * src/tests/mandb-2: Test two-level symlinks. * src/tests/mandb-4: New file. * src/tests/Makefile.am (ALL_TESTS): Add mandb-4.
