From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020607

Description of problem:
In RH 7.2 and 7.3, the TWM window manager is now (for some reason) in its own
package: "XFree86-twm". Yet the manual page, /usr/X11R6/man/man1/twm.1x.gz, is
in the base "XFree86" package. This is wrong; there shouldn't be a manual page
for an app which may not be installed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install XFree86 without Xfree86-twm
2. Enter "man twm", and read about it
3. Try to run it, and not have a clue what they've done to the packaging system
	

Actual Results:  I thought, "come on guys, this isn't rocket science" :)

Expected Results:  TWM's man page shouldn't have been there. Or, it should be
installed by default anyway because it's the Vi of window managers (always
available).

Good catch.  Fixed in 4.2.0-57.2, will show up in rawhide soon.

Thanks for reporting the problem.
