Yes, but similarly, there's no way to do this automatically. There's also a problem that the man pages are in the package: $ dpkg -L apache2.2-common | grep /man/ /usr/share/man/man8 /usr/share/man/man8/apache2.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/a2ensite.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/apache2ctl.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/a2enmod.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/apachectl.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/a2dissite.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/a2dismod.8.gz There's no way to read this documentation first or keep it (this is useful if one wants to write/maintain a script that tests whether apache2 is available or not, for instance). -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
