Description Tomas Heinrich 2014-11-10 15:17:21 UTC 
Description of problem:
config.guess and config.sub man pages are empty.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
autoconf-2.69-11.el7

Steps to Reproduce:
$ man config.guess

Actual results:
$ zcat /usr/share/man/man1/config.guess.1.gz
.ab help2man is required to generate this page

Expected results:
autoconf ships correct man pages.

Additional info:
From the above message it seems the help2man tool is missing during installation. Installing it and rebuilding the package causes correct man pages being generated.

Interestingly, this issue is not present on el6 despite help2man not appearing among the build requirements.

Hi Pavel,

autoconf is not on ACL. I can fix it via MPO. Man pages are generated via help2man from the latest tarball in rhel (autoconf-2.69).

Do you agree?

Ack for MPO.
