I'm amazed that's what you understood from my message. It's certainly not what I 
wrote, but if you can't argue what the problem is I can't really help.


I have wasted too much time already here, so this is my last email. If for 
whatever reason you refuse to specify the section when calling man open, I'm 
sure you can remove (e.g. dpkg-divert) open.1.gz.


Have fun,
Emilio

   * Link to /usr/bin/open through alternatives mechanism. LP: #342584.

What justifies this breakage? Just out of pure fun?


What's broken about that? That `man open` doesn't open open.2 ? Are you 
seriously calling that breakage?


And fwiw it was discussed in debian-devel a while ago and coordinated with other 
package maintainers.
