Description Adam Pribyl 2008-06-24 08:45:08 UTC
Description of problem:
With the latest version of alc_env.sh the manpath is allways set to
$ man --path
/usr/lib/alliance/man
ONLY!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
alliance-5.0-16.20070718snap.fc8



Additional info:
This section of alc_env.sh causes this:

 if [ -z "${MANPATH}" ]; then
   MANPATH=$ALLIANCE_TOP/man
 else
   MANPATH=$MANPATH:$ALLIANCE_TOP/man:
 fi
 export MANPATH

By default there is no $MANPATH variable on Fedora system, however when it is
set, then only MANPATH is used. The man path is configured by /etc/man.config.
Default output of
# man --path
/usr/kerberos/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/share/man/cs:/usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/lib/alliance/man:/usr/man:/usr/local/man

The above code leads to that no man page except those from alliance are
reachable with this shell settings. You either should use man --path to get path
list or add alliance man pages to man.config.

Why ?

Comment 3 Adam Pribyl 2008-07-26 20:17:50 UTC
Because the problem is obvious and also a fix is described. This leads probably
some bugzapper to assuption, that this bug could be easily threaten by its
owner. Bugs in NEW status mean - we do not care.
