Severity: minor

Hello,

The files /usr/share/man/man1/linux32.1.gz and
/usr/share/man/man1/linux64.1.gz contains:

.so setarch.8

So, the manpages cannot be found:

$ man linux32
man: impossible d'ouvrir /usr/share/man/setarch.8: Aucun fichier ou répertoire 
de ce type
man: impossible d'ouvrir /usr/share/man/setarch.8: Aucun fichier ou répertoire 
de ce type
No manual entry for linux32
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.
$

The correct content for theses manpages should be:

.so man8/setarch.8

The following patch should solve this issue:

--- util-linux-2.13/sys-utils/Makefile.in       2007-11-27 23:58:19.000000000

This patch may rather be applied to Makefile.am as Makefile.in is
regenerated from this file.

Greetings,


Fred
