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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2015:0667 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE man-pages-fr bug fix update 2015-03-10 14:09:39 UTC

Description Benjamin Bellec 2014-08-29 14:43:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
manpage of "du" describes the option to display the result in megabytes. The option is (short) -m or (long) --megabytes.

The former option (short) works but not the second (long).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
coreutils 8.4-31.el6_5.2
Comment 2 Kamil Dudka 2014-08-29 14:54:33 UTC 
Which man page?

I cannot see it in the man page provided by the coreutils pacakge.  It must be a translation of the original man page what is not up2date...
Comment 3 Benjamin Bellec 2014-08-29 15:09:14 UTC 
Yes I forgot to mention, this is the french manpage.
Comment 4 Kamil Dudka 2014-08-29 15:23:07 UTC 
Thanks for the additional info!  I am switching the component to man-pages-fr. The bug still exists in Fedora rawhide.
Comment 5 Mike FABIAN 2014-08-30 07:44:48 UTC 
Yes, unfortunately man pages from such collections of translated
man pages are very often out of date.

Same for the option 

       -k, --kilobytes
              Afficher la taille en kilo-octets. Cette option a priorit sur la
              variable d'environnement POSIXLY_CORRECT.


The short option -k exists, the long version doesn’t exist.
Comment 7 Mike FABIAN 2014-09-04 10:59:35 UTC 
I marked the French du man-page as obsolete now by adding this
text at the top:

    Attention :
           La  traduction de  cette page de manuel pour "du" est obsolète par rap‐
           port à la version actuelle de "du". Pour avoir la dernière  version  de
           la  page  de  manuel, veuillez utiliser la version anglaise. La version
           anglaise est disponible avec la commande suivante :
           LANG=en_US.UTF-8 man du

I pushed this fix to F19, F20, F21, and rawhide.

Here is a build for RHEL-6.6:
