Description Robin Lee 2011-06-14 13:24:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
$ zcat /usr/share/man/man1/init.1.gz 
.so systemd.1

init.1 contains a single line and includes a wrong path of the true manpage.
Other similar phantom manpages include reboot.1, poweroff.1.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-26-2.fc15.i686

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. man init
2. man reboot
3. man poweroff
  
Actual results:
$ man init
man: can't open /usr/share/man/systemd.1: No such file or directory
$ man reboot
man: can't open /usr/share/man/halt.8: No such file or directory
$ man poweroff
man: can't open /usr/share/man/halt.8: No such file or directory
man: can't open /usr/share/man/halt.8: No such file or directory
man: can't open /usr/share/man/halt.8: No such file or directory
No manual entry for poweroff

Expected results:
No warning and show the proper manpage.

Uh, this works fine here. Which version of man-db do you have installed?

My guess would be that this is a problem within man-db. Tentatively reassigning.
Comment 2 Robin Lee 2011-06-15 02:40:33 UTC 
man-db-2.5.9-4.fc15
Comment 3 Colin Watson 2011-06-15 09:06:48 UTC 
I added support for this in man-db 2.6.0.
