I couldn't find any mention on on bugs.g.o or traceroute-devel. Thanks for confirming this. It is somewhat odd that it is not included. There is a page for traceroute6 which asks the user to refer to the traceroute(8)o_O I think I'll copy it over from my old box, but I suspect it may be removed again by later man page packages? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

It just changed location. There is a bug in the original make file for 2.0.15 with a patch in the portage tree. That probably causes the man page to be missing from the install but my make-fu is not sufficient to verify that. Regards, Florian Philipp signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Check package.use to make sure you didn't put something in there. I always forget to check that. This from the guy that copies kernel symlinks. Dale :-) :-)
