In order to improve usability of packages in Fedora, project Man Page Scan was created and its task is to provide consistency of man pages (and documentation in general). The results are now available for package maintainers to fix documentation issues. If you need to re-run the check yourself, here is the simple process of man page check: 1. Download man-page-day from: https://pagure.io/ManualPageScan/blob/master/f/man-page-day.sh 2. Run the script: $ ./man-page-day.sh OpenIPMI

Missing man page isn't available in upstream.
I'm sort of surprised that the man-page-day scanner didn't catch it, but this: checking /usr/share/man/man1/ipmicmd.1.gz: this man page is link to /usr/share/man/man1/ipmicmd.1.gz, skipping Is actually a problem, and because of it the first time you try to read that man page, you get only: $ man ipmicmd man: /usr/share/man/man1/ipmicmd.1 is self referencing No manual entry for ipmicmd (Subsequent attempts won't even produce the "is self referencing" message.) I _suspect_ /usr/share/man/man1/ipmicmd.1 is supposed to link to openipmicmd.1, the same way ipmish.1 links to openipmish.1: # # This works fine # $ zcat /usr/share/man/man1/ipmish.1.gz .so man1/openipmish.1 # # This breaks # $ zcat /usr/share/man/man1/ipmicmd.1.gz .so man1/ipmicmd.1
Filed the above as bug 1622247.
Fixed in Fedora.
