This is a little off-topic, but related to man-pages, too. My problem is that - when running "man -a" as I always do - I often get to see man pages multiple times. See this as an example:
~>man -w rename /usr/man/man2/rename.2.gz /var/catman/cat2/rename.2.gz /usr/man/man3/rename.3tcl.gz /var/catman/cat3/rename.3tcl.gz /usr/man/man3/rename.3tcl.gz /var/catman/cat3/rename.3tcl.gz /usr/man/man3/rename.3tcl.gz /var/catman/cat3/rename.3tcl.gz I don't know when this started to happen, and I have no idea what has gone wrong. For example, I never anything in manpath.config A trimmed down output of "dpkg -l '*man*'" is here: pn man <none> (no description available) un man-aeb <none> (no description available) un man-browser <none> (no description available) ii man-db 2.3.10-38 Display the on-line manual. ii manpages 1.15-4 Section 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 manpages pn manpages-de <none> (no description available) pn manpages-es <none> (no description available) pn manpages-fr <none> (no description available) pn manpages-it <none> (no description available) Hm, now this is funny, since I do have (some) german manpages. Oh, boy, this confuses me. HELP! :-) Maybe, the contents (without comments) of manpath.config will help: # man_db.config MANDATORY_MANPATH /usr/man MANDATORY_MANPATH /usr/X11R6/man MANDATORY_MANPATH /usr/local/man MANPATH_MAP /bin /usr/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/bin /usr/man MANPATH_MAP /sbin /usr/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/sbin /usr/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/bin /usr/local/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/bin/X11 /usr/local/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/X11R6/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/games /usr/man MANDB_MAP /usr/man/de_DE /var/catman/de_DE MANDB_MAP /usr/man/it_IT /var/catman/it_IT MANDB_MAP /usr/man /var/catman MANDB_MAP /usr/local/man /var/catman/local MANDB_MAP /usr/X11R6/man /var/catman/X11R6 Thanks a lot in advance, Andy. ____________________________________________________________________ Andy Spiegl, University of Technology, Muenchen, Germany E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] OR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.appl-math.tu-muenchen.de/~spiegl PGP fingerprint: B8 48 24 7B DB 96 6F 1C D9 6D 8E 6C DB C2 E7 E9 o _ _ _ --------- __o __o /\_ _ \\o (_)\__/o (_) ------- _`\<,_ _`\<,_ _>(_) (_)/<_ \_| \ _|/' \/ ------ (_)/ (_) (_)/ (_) (_) (_) (_) (_)' _\o_ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
