That's true, if the manual can be displayed/read without running Audacity. The dependency on /usr/bin/audacity seems like overhead, but it could be that the Fedora packagers disagree. > Seems like a bug to me. Not sure where to report it.

There is no other way to replace Fedora's "audacity" with RPM Fusion's "audacity-freeworld" other than by removing and reinstalling. RPM Fusion doesn't like to do that automatically (via RPM Obsoletes) as doing that for add-on repositories is frowned upon. > I just copied audacity-manual/* to audacity-manual-wtf but would like > to report this so it can be fixed. > > Will do some more digging later, just thought I'd ask to see if anyone > knows where a bug report should be filed.
