# man yum
Formatting page, please wait...
sh: /usr/bin/lzma: No such file or directory
Error executing formatting or display command.
System command (cd /usr/share/man && (echo ".pl 1100i"; /usr/bin/gunzip -c '/usr/share/man/man8/yum.8.gz'; echo ".\\\""; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/gtbl | /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc 2>/dev/null | /usr/bin/lzma > /var/cache/man/cat8/yum.8.lzma) exited with status 32512.



Expected results:
Show man page

Additional info:

yum install lzma
Installed: lzma.i386 0:4.32.7-1.fc10
Dependency Installed: lzma-libs.i386 0:4.32.7-1.fc10

man yum works great!

jlaska	perhaps a bug requesting that `man` adds a %requires lzma to it's spec file might be in order

Hello, please could you attach here your /etc/man.config file?
Comment 2 Ivana Varekova 2008-09-12 08:12:00 UTC 
The problem should be you either change /etc/man.config setting  or you have an environment variable PAGER set to /usr/bin/lzma.
So please put here printenv | grep PAGER too.

Sorry about the duplicate.

About your questions regarding man.config and PAGER, PAGER is not set. man.config is unchanged from as it is in the rpm (man-1.6f-9.fc10.i386), never the less I'll attach it for you.

man,config
Comment 6 Hans de Goede 2008-09-12 08:31:20 UTC 
Checking the attached man.config you will see it specifies lzma, which explains why man needs lzma now, maybe the upstream defaults have changed?

Anyways the fix is to either change the default config as it installed with a fresh install, or to add a "Requires: /usr/bin/lzma" to the package.

Note I verified that this man.config is unchanged from the one in the rpm using rpm --verify
