Package: emacs20 Version: 20.7-13.1 Severity: minor The emacs packages include several manpages for the various programs distributed with or as part of emacs, such as emacsclient and etags. These manpages are put in /usr/share/man/man1 under names like "etags.1emacs20.gz" with alternatives registered for etags.1.gz, for instance. However, naming a file etags.1emacs20.gz confuses man: it will find it when searching for etags.1.gz:
13:05 godel:jpt[52]~% man -a -w etags /usr/share/man/man1/etags.1emacs20.gz /usr/share/man/man1/etags.1emacs21.gz /usr/share/man/man1/ctags-exuberant.1.gz Note the last entry is actually the result of chasing the symlink /usr/share/man/man1/etags.1.gz -- that is, it *should* be the *first* entry on the list, because that is what I will see when I type man etags. The solution is simply to install those manpages for which alternatives are used under some less confusing name, like /usr/share/man/man1/etags-emacs20.1.gz. (Actually, this might be considered a bug in man-db rather than emacs, but it seems much easier for emacs to fix). -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.19 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Versions of packages emacs20 depends on: ii dpkg 1.10.27 Package maintenance system for Deb ii emacsen-common 1.4.16 Common facilities for all emacsen ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii liblockfile1 1.06 NFS-safe locking library, includes ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libxaw7 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 X Athena widget set library ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
