Cause: man page for snmp_read was missing Consequence: man pages were missing Fix: missing man pages added Result: man snmp_read does not fail
Description of problem: After installation of the package net-snmp-devel-5.5-44.el6_4.4.x86_64.rpm the command: $ man snmp_read fails with: Cannot open man page /usr/share/man/man3/snmp_api.3.gz No manual entry for snmp_read but: $ test -f /usr/share/man/man3/snmp_read.3.gz && echo "file exits" file exits $ zcat /usr/share/man/man3/snmp_read.3.gz .so man3/snmp_api.3 $ test -f /usr/share/man/man3/snmp_api.3.gz && echo "file exits" $ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.5-44.el6_4.4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install net-snmp-devel 2. man snmp_read Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: no result from: rpm -ql net-snmp-devel | grep snmp_api.3.gz conclusion: link/file snmp_api.3.gz is missing in the rpm-package net-snmp-devel In my opinion there should be a softlink snmp_api.3.gz to netsnmp_session_api.3.gz, or the content of the snmp_read.3.gz should be corrected to snmp_session_api.3
Thanks for the report. You are correct, few man pages reference non-existing snmp_api.3. We'll fix it eventually, please go through Red Hat Support at access.redhat.com to speed things up.
