I still get : $ man -k StdLabels StdLabels (3o) - Standard labeled libraries. StdLabels.Array (3o) - (unknown subject) StdLabels.Array - (3o) [StdLabels.Array] - (unknown subject) StdLabels.List (3o) - (unknown subject) StdLabels.List - (3o) [StdLabels.List] - (unknown subject) StdLabels.String (3o) - (unknown subject) StdLabels.String - (3o) [StdLabels.String] - (unknown subject) Which is consistent with the bug report. I also get : $ ls -l /usr/share/man/man3/Std* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 323 2003-10-02 08:33 /usr/share/man/man3/StdLabels.3o.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 480 2003-10-02 08:33 /usr/share/man/man3/StdLabels.Array.3o.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 562 2003-10-02 08:33 /usr/share/man/man3/StdLabels.List.3o.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 437 2003-10-02 08:33 /usr/share/man/man3/StdLabels.String.3o.gz So there are no old files left around, but i guess the problem is with the StdLabels submodules manpages, not the StdLabels per see. And looking at the files, i effectively have what you described : .TH "Module" StdLabels.Array "2003-10-02" OCamldoc "OCaml library" .SH NAME StdLabels.Array \- no description .SH Module Module StdLabels.Array .SH Documentation .sp But it does not solve the problem.
