Description Brian Brock 2004-08-12 15:46:44 UTC
up2date-4.2.33-1

The up2date(8) man page contains a grammatical error, and a formatting
error:


      requested. It also needs read/write access to the up2date
systemid file
       in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid , and itâs configuration in
/etc/syscon-
       fig/rhn/up2date


drop the apostrophe in "it's", that form of the word is only used for
the contraction of "it is".


Also, check the format of the page... When rendered on my system, the
right margin grows throughout the entire man page... indenting at the
same time as the left margin but never returning to the previous size.
 As a result, the text occupies only the left half of the display at
the bottom.

"it's" fixed, but I can duplicate the formatting issue

any weird locale or other issues?

Comment 3 Brian Brock 2004-10-05 13:55:23 UTC
I see it on my RHEL 3 AS u3 system.  Installed in English, defaulting
to English, but with support for all languages also installed.

glibc-common-2.3.2-95.27
`rpm -V glibc-common` shows no problems.

contents of /etc/sysconfig/i18n:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"

also, I see the following in my user's environment:
LANGVAR=en_US.UTF-8


what else might be useful?
