Hey, I was looking at the new iproute today, and I don't think this is
an ICA problem. I think the Makefile is just screwed up. Or, they
forgot to distribute a file. The install target has this:
install -m 0644 $(shell find man/man8 -maxdepth 1 -type f)
$(DESTDIR)$(MANDIR)/man8
ln -sf tc-pbfifo.8 $(DESTDIR)$(MANDIR)/man8/tc-bfifo.8
ln -sf tc-pbfifo.8 $(DESTDIR)$(MANDIR)/man8/tc-pfifo.8
But, the man pages are distributed like this:
# ls -l man/man8/*fifo.8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1976 Mar 13 21:50 man/man8/tc-bfifo.8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Mar 24 21:19 man/man8/tc-pfifo.8 -> tc-bfifo.8
So, I think it's just a mistake in the Makefile since the only reason
to create the symlinks would be if tc-bfifo.8 and tc-pfifo.8 weren't
distributed. It ends up overwriting the real tc-bfifo.8 manpage and
leaving two dangling symlinks. I'm just suppressing the symlinking in
the Makefile:
# sed -i '/tc-pbfifo.8/d' Makefile
The only problem is that tc-pfifo.8 ends up being a copy of tc-bfifo.8
instead of a symlink. That could be fixed with one more command, but
it's probably not a big deal.
# ln -svf tc-bfifo.8 /usr/share/man/man8/tc-pfifo.8
