+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #850832 +++ Description of problem: The binutils package contains the windmc(1) manual page, but the windmc utility is not included in the package. This is confusing, because if a utility is documented, people expect it to be present in the system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.34.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure the binutils package is installed: # yum install binutils 2. Access the manual page for the windmc utility: $ man windmc 3. Attempt to run the utility itself: $ windmc Actual results: I can see the manual page, but the utility is clearly not there: $ rpm -ql binutils | grep windmc /usr/share/man/man1/windmc.1.gz Expected results: Either the /usr/share/man/man1/windmc.1.gz file should be removed, or the windmc utility should be added to the package.
Relevant to binutils-2.23.88.0.1-13.fc20.
Fixed in: binutils-2.25-6.fc23 The binutils.spec file already has a line to remove other unwanted manual pages, so I have just checked in a small patch to add windmc to the list. Is it worth backporting this patch to F22 and/or F21 ? Personally I don't think so as it really is a minor change. Cheers Nick
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora23
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
