Re: Missing man pages in Fedora 16 AMI after installing man-db

[István <leccine@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just for the sake of the folks searching for this in google:

gholms> l1x: Yes.  It will be fixed in the next F16 image.

 [00:45:41] <l1x> gholms: really? thanks. do you know what is the exact issue? is there a workaround?

 [00:46:54] <gholms> The kickstart that generated the image specified --nodocs and that setting persisted in the images themselves.

 [00:48:18] <gholms> You can work around it by deleting the macro that prevents docs from getting installed (I think it's something in /etc/rpm) and then running ``yum reinstall'' on the packages with man pages you care about.

Thanks to gholms.

I am going to check this later on when I am coming back from holiday.

I.

Hi guys,

This is my second email about the topic (I have asked the same question when Fedora 15 was released). Is there any plan to ship a working man db at any stage for Fedora?
