*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 79172 *** /ll is not setup from the current man, so this really looks like a problem in man. Seems also it only allows setting the width in a certain range, so I am not sure this is really a supported option. greetings, Florian La Roche man was not passing -rLT and -rLL to nroff/groff; fixed in current rawhide |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-GB; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0 Description of problem: Man pages display 78 characters per line, even after I enter a command such as export MANWIDTH=100 The variable is being correctly set, but 'man' does not use this value, contrary to what is stated in the 'man' manual. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter command 'export MANWIDTH=60' (for instance) 2. Enter command 'man ls' (for instance) Actual Results: Displayed width of man page is unaffected (78 characters). Expected Results: Width should have been 60 characters Additional info:
