[Bug 411534] Re: modprobe.conf man page has invalid symlink
This bug was fixed in the package man-db - 2.6.0.2-1 --- man-db (2.6.0.2-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release: - Fix a segfault when scanning links to empty pages (closes: #622104). - Once we've seen at least one record in a page's NAME section, ignore any further records that don't include a whatis description, as they tend to be noise. * Remove unnecessary .la files (closes: #622443). man-db (2.6.0.1-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release, fixing test failures in 2.6.0 (closes: #621867): - Ensure that the target of a symlink or .so chain is always recorded as a real page. - Read a user-specified configuration file even if HOME is unset. man-db (2.6.0-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release: - Search the full manpath when expanding .so directives in manual pages. As part of this, '.so name.1' should now work as well as '.so man1/name.1' (closes: #503472, LP: #411534). - Handle roff named glyphs and perldoc strings in NAME sections (closes: #601025). - Don't start a pager if stdout is not a tty. - Allow passing multiple sections to whatis and apropos (closes: #571285). - Provide byte positions in manconv errors (closes: #562789). - Make mandb error output neater when stderr is not a tty. - Fix failure to display manual pages in some encodings when installed setuid. - Don't ignore SIGPIPE while forking iconv (closes: #597756). - Remove obsolete subdirectories of cat directories (closes: #558804). - If mandb sees that A is a symlink to B, it should never store a whatis reference for B (closes: #204249). - Print commas in roman rather than bold (thanks, David Prévot; closes: #62). - Consider .PD requests as paragraph breaks (closes: #611012). - Reset SIGPIPE to SIG_DFL on startup, to avoid noisy output in the event that mandb was started from a context where SIGPIPE was ignored. - SECTION entries in a user configuration file now override those in the system configuration file, rather than appending to them. - If the user asked for an explicit section, sort exact matches first. - Rewrite all remaining subprocess handling in terms of libpipeline, especially some crash-prone code in catman (LP: #27738). - The default less prompt now includes (press h for help or q to quit) to help novices find their way around (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/25975). - Fix a segfault when 'man -K' tries to display certain pages. - Fix a segfault in some situations when processes are killed by SIGHUP, SIGINT, or SIGTERM (LP: #218336). * Avoid unnecessary metadata writes to /var/cache/man when doing recursive chown (thanks, Iustin Pop; closes: #619726). -- Ubuntu Archive Auto-Sync arch...@ubuntu.com Sat, 30 Apr 2011 13:16:26 + ** Changed in: man-db (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/411534 Title: modprobe.conf man page has invalid symlink -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This should no longer cause repeated rescans as of man-db 2.5.8, so downgrading severity.

After chatting with Colin, it turns out the the other man implementation (e.g. as used by Fedora) accepts .so links like this - so our man-db probably should too ** Changed in: module-init-tools Status: New = Won't Fix ** Package changed: module-init-tools (Ubuntu) = man-db (Ubuntu) -- modprobe.conf man page has invalid symlink https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/411534 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm upgrading this to High as I think it currently causes mandb to rebuild the database every time. See http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14467 for details. I'd upload this right away except I think that Scott currently has module-init-tools changes pending in the ubuntu-boot PPA and I don't want to interfere with him. ** Changed in: module-init-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Low = High -- modprobe.conf man page has invalid symlink https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/411534 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Prefixing with man5/ is actually correct even though it looks weird; .so links are relative to the base of the manual page hierarchy. However, you don't need the trailing .gz on the .so link.
