Description Don Swaner 2014-01-17 01:30:10 UTC

Description of problem:
The contents of	/usr/share/man/man4/run-parts.4.gz:
.so man/man4/crontabs.4

The ".so" troff macro apparently is supposed to switch a "man run-parts" to "man crontabs".   
It doesn't work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
man-db-2.6.3-7.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. do a "man run-parts"
2.
3.

Actual results:
man: can't open /usr/share/man/man/man4/crontabs.4: No such file or directory
No manual entry for run-parts

Expected results:
view man-page for crontabs

Additional info:
Note the double "/man/man" in the Actual results.

Comment 1 Colin Watson 2014-01-17 01:52:40 UTC

This is a bug in whatever package provides run-parts.4.gz.  It should read ".so man4/crontabs.4", not ".so man/man4/crontabs.4"; the .so path is normally meant to be relative to the root of the manual hierarchy, in this case /usr/share/man.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 21:06:55 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
