Robin, I don't see the 'iproutedoc' (without the dash) mentioned anywhere in iproute manpages. The ss.html file mentioned in ss(8) truly doesn't exist, ss.ps is generated instead. This will be corrected. Netstat is from the net-tools package which is generally considered obsolete -- and iproute2 its replacement; I'd believe the note in netstat(8) (from 2000, by the way). Concerning the ss documentation, this is, sadly, the latest version available in the upstream. Petr Sorry, I meant the ss man page, not the iproute man page, above. I also see a different dash character was used (0xAD instead of regular 0x2D) in the 'iproute-doc' word. Updating that as well. iproute-2.6.33-6.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/iproute-2.6.33-6.fc13 iproute-2.6.35-4.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/iproute-2.6.35-4.fc14 iproute-2.6.33-6.fc13 has been pushed to the Fedora 13 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update iproute'.

If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. iproute-2.6.35-5.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Unfortunately, it *still* refers to a non-existent file, because it refers to an unversioned directory in /usr/share/doc, but the real directory is versioned. iproute-2.6.35-6.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/iproute-2.6.35-6.fc14 iproute-2.6.33-8.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/iproute-2.6.33-8.fc13 iproute-2.6.35-6.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 testing repository.

Description of problem: In the iproute man page, it says: SEE ALSO ip(8), /usr/share/doc/iproute-doc/ss.html (package iproutedoc) Neither this file, nor the package mentioned after it, exists. There is a package iproute-doc, but it does not contain this file! It does contain a file ss.ps, but since this file (from 2001) advises the user not to use ss and use netstat instead, and the netstat man page *clearly* states than netstat is obsolete and ss is its replacement, I am not sure that ss.ps (in its current state) is the right file to refer to either!
