RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
The man pages for hwloc-ls(1) and lstopo-no-graphics(1) are broken symlinks:

~]$ man hwloc-ls
man: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/hwloc-ls.1.gz is a dangling symlink
No manual entry for hwloc-ls

~]$ man lstopo-no-graphics
man: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/lstopo-no-graphics.1.gz is a dangling symlink
No manual entry for lstopo-no-graphics


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hwloc-1.7-3.el7

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man hwloc-ls
2. man lstopo-no-graphics

Actual results:
error about dangling symlinks

Expected results:
read the man pages

Additional info:

Ah-hah, the broken symlinks are:

/usr/share/man/man1/hwloc-ls.1.gz -> lstopo.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/lstopo-no-graphics.1.gz -> lstopo.1.gz

And the lstopo.1.gz file is part of the hwloc-gui rpm which has to be installed separately:

~]# rpm -ql hwloc-gui
/usr/bin/lstopo
/usr/share/man/man1/lstopo.1.gz

Can the man page be moved to the main hwloc package?

I have a fix that I backported from upstream.  It just makes lstopo-no-graphics hold the manpages and lets lstopo symlink to that one instead of the other way around.

I'll wait until 7.3 to push the fix.

Cheers,
Don

confirmed that lstopo-no-graphaics.1 and hwloc-ls.1  man pages has been moved to the hwloc package.
