[Bug 528020] Re: sk98lin man page should be removed
What you say is contradictory. If the driver is no longer included in any new version of Ubuntu, there will be no conflict. No ? I know that there may be other sources for the man pages. Other packages that installs this page are they available in a newer version of Ubuntu? I'm not an Ubuntu user, but Debian, I do not know how to see it. It seemed to me that this is the case. Yes, no? And for other distributions? I'm asked upstream to delete the page, but I promise nothing. It's been 3 years since he added the note. One can think that now there is any more machine that uses this driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/528020 Title: sk98lin man page should be removed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/manpages/+bug/528020/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 528020] Re: sk98lin man page should be removed
There is a conflict as soon as a user installs a package that includes the driver (and man page), such as the one that I maintained in a PPA. Pretending that the Ubuntu manpages package is the only source that could ever exist for that driver is a bit disingenuous, don't you think? In any case, I have no idea why anyone would want to continue distributing an out-of-date man page for a driver that is not even included in their distribution. To use a car analogy, it's like Honda shipping with its cars a Toyota manual that contains incorrect information. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/528020 Title: sk98lin man page should be removed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/manpages/+bug/528020/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Packets nct6775-dkms and sk98lin-dkms have been removed from the distribution.

[Bug 528020] Re: sk98lin man page should be removed
What I wrote was not contradictory. Please try to remember that many Ubuntu users configure software sources in addition to the official Ubuntu ones. (That's what PPAs are all about, after all.) Therefore, a spurious man page installed by an Ubuntu source can and will conflict with a proper man page installed by another source. Since you mentioned it, there absolutely are machines that still use that driver. I know of one less than five minutes away from where I'm standing right now.

[Bug 528020] Re: sk98lin man page should be removed
Man pages are for all distributions. Red Hat 5, which will be supported until 2020 [1], included kernel 2.6.18 [2] and the driver sk98lin [3] without man page. Personally it does not bother me to delete this page, but how do we do? I think upstream should not delete the page and the Debian package / Ubuntu should not install it. Others ideas ?

I think upstream should not delete the page and the Debian package / Ubuntu should not install it. That makes sense to me.

[Bug 528020] Re: sk98lin man page should be removed
To clarify: Merely noting in the man page that the driver was removed is not sufficient. The man page must be removed as well, in order to avoid conflicting with packages that install the current version of the driver and man page.
