Bug#570980: man sbin man pages are in section 1 instead of section 8
Package: general Severity: wishlist Many executables in .../sbin have their man pages in section 1 instead of section 8. Perhaps a piuparts like script could comb over the apt-file search results to target them. Not sure if a policy violation. Or if should be made part of policy. P.S., I am sure I filed this bug in the right place, as reportbug says general General problems (e.g., that many manpages are mode 755). P.S.S., Maybe even check if .../bin programs have their man page wrongly put into section 8 too. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

P.S., I am sure I filed this bug in the right place, as reportbug says general General problems (e.g., that many manpages are mode 755). I'm tempted to close this bug or reassign to reportbug ;-) IME bugs against the general pseudo-package are hardly dealt with, except me trying to get the bugs kicked^wreassigned to other packages. Had you filed bugs against the individual packages showing this bug, we could use them to block 570980 and we could use 570980 to track the the progress. Do you intend to file individual bugs? I'd appreciate this. cheers, Holger signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

HL Do you intend to file individual bugs? I'd appreciate this. Actually I've filed many individual bugs, some even just today. Then I got this great idea that instead of me just mentioning in to packages that I've stumbled into, there could be a systematic combing of all Debian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

[1] http://bugs.debian.org/pseudopackages/pseudo-packages.description hmm.. not sure with what to replace this example with perm 755... but noticed that Base system general bugs for base is also sub-optimal. At least the word general should be removed there.. But in general (pun intended) I wonder if its still useful to have a base and a general pseudo�ackage. IMO one of the two would be sufficiient. cheers, Holger signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

At least last time I can find it being discussed, the man-db maintainer agreed with not having the check (see #348864, with which I've just merged this bug). In fact, that log appears to include a piuparts maintainer arguing that piuparts(1) is correct despite the program being in /sbin. ;-) Regards, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
