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.
A correct patch would be: -.so modprobe.conf.5 +.so man5/modprobe.conf.5 ** Changed in: module-init-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- 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
