Description DaveG 2011-07-21 11:56:26 UTC 
Description of problem:
The manual page man(1) (/usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz) contains strings e.g. "%thman%", "%man" etc. Looks like string substitution has been missed during build.
The issue is restricted to man(1) and apropos(1) in the i686 package. The x86_64 version looks fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
man-db-2.5.7-9.fc14.i686
man-db-2.5.7-9.fc14.x86_64 is OK

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install man-db.i686
2. man 1 man
3.
  
Actual results (i686):
+++
%thman%(1)                  Manual pager utils                       %thman%(1)

NAME
       %man% - an interface to the on-line reference manuals
---

Expected results (x86_64):
+++
MAN(1)                      Manual pager utils                           MAN(1)

NAME
       man - an interface to the on-line reference manuals

This seems to be fixed in Fedora 15 and later.

Thanks for your report.
