Sorry, I did not want to push you. Of course, manpage problems are really 
of minor priority compared to other difficulties the whole X11 framework 
might have. I just wanted to share my in-the-meantime-fix.


Thank you for your time,
Christian.

I've committed a fix to our Debian packages, but it will require that other
packages get rebuilt with it. This has been waiting on the new X
transitioning to testing. Now that this is done, I can fix the bug. I'm
sorry if it's been annoying, but I've had far more important bugs to fix in
the meantime.

Bug#366500: xbase-clients: bad ROFF .so request in some man pages

[Christian Kujau]

Hi,

same problem here, running mandb with "-d" reveals, that

/usr/share/man/man1/atobm.1x.gz

is looking for ".so man1x/bitmap.1x", which seems to be:

/usr/share/man/man1x/bitmap.1x
---^ there are no man*x directories on my system.

Unfortunately, I can't see how this pathname is built, the only occurence 
of "man1x" in the src-tree seems to be in 
xcursorgen-X11R7.0-1.0.0/ChangeLog:


2005-11-12  Alan Coopersmith  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* Makefile.am:
* configure.ac:
Bug #5021 
Patch #3786 
xcursorgen installs manpages into 'man1' instead of 'man1x'

Q: I see there's only v7.0.1-2 in the pool-directory. Are there any older
   (source) versions available? (but younger than the
   xbase-clients_4.3.0.dfsg packages). we could diff(1) to the old
   version...


Thanks,
Christian.

Bug#366500: xbase-clients: bad ROFF .so request in some man pages

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: xbase-clients
Version: 1:7.0.1-1
Severity: normal

A "man atobm" gives the error:

man: can't open /usr/share/man/man1x/bitmap.1x: No such file or directory

before the man page can be found.

dixsept:~> gunzip -c /usr/share/man/man1/atobm.1x.gz
.so man1x/bitmap.1x

but the man page is:

dixsept:~> locate bitmap.1x
/usr/share/man/man1/bitmap.1x.gz

Other man pages are affected, e.g. xtrap*.
