RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #641599 +++
Description of problem:
In the iproute man page, it says:
SEE ALSO
ip(8), /usr/share/doc/iproute-doc/ss.html (package iproutedoc)
Neither this file, nor the package mentioned after it, exists. There is a package iproute-doc, but it does not contain this file!
It does contain a file ss.ps, but since this file (from 2001) advises the user not to use ss and use netstat instead, and the netstat man page *clearly* states than netstat is obsolete and ss is its replacement, I am not sure that ss.ps (in its current state) is the right file to refer to either!
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
iproute-2.6.33-4.fc13.i686

Robin,
I don't see the 'iproutedoc' (without the dash) mentioned anywhere in iproute manpages. The ss.html file mentioned in ss(8) truly doesn't exist, ss.ps is generated instead. This will be corrected.
Netstat is from the net-tools package which is generally considered obsolete -- and iproute2 its replacement; I'd believe the note in netstat(8) (from 2000, by the way). Concerning the ss documentation, this is, sadly, the latest version available in the upstream.

Sorry, I meant the ss man page, not the iproute man page, above.

I also see a different dash character was used (0xAD instead of regular 0x2D) in the 'iproute-doc' word. Updating that as well.
