Description roger 2002-05-24 17:57:22 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.2 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020510

Description of problem:
/etc/man.config contains:

MANPATH_MAP
/usr/local/bin
	/usr/local/man
MANPATH_MAP
/usr/local/sbin
	/usr/local/man

However, filesystem-2.1.6-2 creates /usr/local/share/man and does not create
/usr/local/man. This implies that /etc/man.config should contain this instead:

MANPATH_MAP
/usr/local/bin
	/usr/local/share/man
MANPATH_MAP     /usr/local/sbin         /usr/local/share/man

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man-1.5j-6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure, build, and install an executable program into /usr/local/bin, with
its man pages in /usr/local/share/man. With GNU configure-based programs, such
as mutt-1.3.99, you can do './configure --mandir=/usr/local/share/man; make
install'.
2. Make sure /usr/local/bin is in your $PATH.
3. Do 'man mutt' (or whatever).
	
Actual Results:  [roger@kiera roger]$ man mutt
No manual entry for mutt

Expected Results:  Show the mutt(1) man page.

Additional info:

I tested the first line of the proposed change and it seems to work as expected.
