Description Tethys 2001-05-17 13:14:38 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.4 i686; en-US; rv:0.9)
Gecko/20010505

Description of problem:
The command "man latin1" doesn't show the latin1 man page

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.man latin1 | more
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  I get the error message:

<standard input>:2: realpath on `man7/iso_8859-1.7' failed: No such file or
directory


Expected Results:  I should get the man page!

Additional info:

The file /usr/share/man/man7/latin1.7.gz contains a .so request
for man/iso_8859_1.7, which itself contains a .so request for
man/iso_8859-1.7 (note the dash replacing the final underscore).
Changing the latin1 file to request iso_8859-1.7 directly fixes
the problem.

Comment 1 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-05-17 16:24:25 EDT

This is a bug in groff - it has problems handling indirect links to compressed
files. Your workaround works, though - added for man-pages-1.35-7

Comment 2 Michael Schwendt 2001-05-27 15:27:46 EDT

Another easier temporary work-around for Red Hat Linux 7.1 users:

cd /usr/share/man/man7
gunzip iso_8859_1.7.gz iso_8859_2.7.gz
