From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.2 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020510 Description of problem: /etc/man.config contains: MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/bin /usr/local/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/man However, filesystem-2.1.6-2 creates /usr/local/share/man and does not create /usr/local/man. This implies that /etc/man.config should contain this instead: MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/bin /usr/local/share/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/share/man Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man-1.5j-6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure, build, and install an executable program into /usr/local/bin, with its man pages in /usr/local/share/man. With GNU configure-based programs, such as mutt-1.3.99, you can do './configure --mandir=/usr/local/share/man; make install'. 2. Make sure /usr/local/bin is in your $PATH. 3. Do 'man mutt' (or whatever). Actual Results: [roger@kiera roger]$ man mutt No manual entry for mutt Expected Results: Show the mutt(1) man page. Additional info: I tested the first line of the proposed change and it seems to work as expected.
