I was wondering about those multiple hits I get every time I use |
| 2 |
whatis(1) or apropos(1) these days. Everything is listed three times, |
| 3 |
which is kind of annoying. It's not too hard to find the culprit if you |
| 4 |
look at whatis: /etc/man.conf lists /usr/man and /usr/X11R6/man as |
| 5 |
separate entries for MANPATH but these are both links to /usr/shar/man |
| 6 |
where the actual whatis-db lives. Now that's easy to fix, but I was |
| 7 |
wondering |
| 8 |
a) why it is like that in the default config (I don't think man.conf is |
| 9 |
built dynamically depending on whether e.g. you install X11?) and |
| 10 |
b) whether the best way to fix it would be to simply change man.conf or |
| 11 |
convert /usr/man and /usr/X11R6/man to real directories and ask portage |
| 12 |
for all manpages that are supposed to be installed there and move them |
| 13 |
from /usr/share/man manually? |

cheers! |
