Description of problem: $ zcat /usr/share/man/man1/init.1.gz .so systemd.1 init.1 contains a single line and includes a wrong path of the true manpage. Other similar phantom manpages include reboot.1, poweroff.1. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-26-2.fc15.i686 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. man init 2. man reboot 3. man poweroff Actual results: $ man init man: can't open /usr/share/man/systemd.1: No such file or directory $ man reboot man: can't open /usr/share/man/halt.8: No such file or directory $ man poweroff man: can't open /usr/share/man/halt.8: No such file or directory man: can't open /usr/share/man/halt.8: No such file or directory man: can't open /usr/share/man/halt.8: No such file or directory No manual entry for poweroff Expected results: No warning and show the proper manpage. Additional info:
Uh, this works fine here. Which version of man-db do you have installed? My guess would be that this is a problem within man-db. Tentatively reassigning.
man-db-2.5.9-4.fc15
I added support for this in man-db 2.6.0. http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/man-db/trunk/revision/1287
