Description of problem: The thinkfan package has empty man page. Also, it ships a thinkfan.conf file but in different directory than where the program tries to find it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): thinkfan-0.8.1-2.fc18.i686 How reproducible: Deterministic. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install thinkfan: yum install -y thinkfan 2. Attempt to start the service: service thinkfan start 3. Try to read man page to see what you did wrong: man thinkfan Actual results: Package installed OK. # service thinkfan start Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start thinkfan.service Job for thinkfan.service failed. See 'systemctl status thinkfan.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details. # journalctl -xn -- Logs begin at Tue 2013-07-02 17:06:11 CEST, end at Sun 2013-07-07 19:45:04 CEST. -- Jul 07 19:44:22 machine.example.com dbus-daemon[629]: dbus[629]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.PackageKit' Jul 07 19:44:22 machine.example.com dbus[629]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.PackageKit' Jul 07 19:44:58 machine.example.com systemd[1]: Reloading.

(END) (press h for help or q to quit) Expected results: Installs OK and service starts out of box. Additional info: Running rpm -ql thinkfan reveals the thinkfan.conf is in /etc/thinkfan, not in /etc where the program tries to use it. Symlinking fixes the problem but I believe either the location or the path in the code should be fixed. Also # ls -la /usr/share/man/man1/thinkfan.1.gz -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 20 Oct 3 2012 /usr/share/man/man1/thinkfan.1.gz # zcat /usr/share/man/man1/thinkfan.1.gz | wc 0 0 0 shows the man page does not have any useful content.
