Description Michal Jaegermann 2010-04-16 23:29:14 UTC 
Description of problem:

A file /usr/share/man/man1/compress-dummy.1.gz from sharutils package has a length 20 but 

zcat /usr/share/man/man1/compress-dummy.1.gz | wc

produces "      0       0       0".  Is this really an intended result?  Does not seem to be overly useful and easy to drop while packaging.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sharutils-4.7-6.fc13

Additional info:
At least sharutils-4.7-4.fc11 has the same issue.

Proposed fix

This patch removes the empty manual page. All Fedoras 10-14 are affected.

Does it really work?  If at this moment this file is already compressed then its suffix will be different.  It seems that "rm -f .../man1/compress-dummy.*" would be safer.
Comment 4 Petr Pisar 2010-04-22 13:28:46 UTC 
It works because removal is in %install. Compression is proceeded by %doc macro later then.
