Description of problem: A file /usr/share/man/man1/compress-dummy.1.gz from sharutils package has a length 20 but zcat /usr/share/man/man1/compress-dummy.1.gz | wc produces " 0 0 0". Is this really an intended result? Does not seem to be overly useful and easy to drop while packaging. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sharutils-4.7-6.fc13 Additional info: At least sharutils-4.7-4.fc11 has the same issue.

Created attachment 408306 [details] Proposed fix This patch removes the empty manual page. All Fedoras 10-14 are affected.
(In reply to comment #2) > Created an attachment (id=408306) [details] > Proposed fix > rm -f ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_mandir}/man1/compress-dummy.1 Does it really work? If at this moment this file is already compressed then its suffix will be different. It seems that "rm -f .../man1/compress-dummy.*" would be safer.
It works because removal is in %install. Compression is proceeded by %doc macro later then.
