No, because rpm does not generate a dependency on "man" for packages that contain man pages. I guess the idea is that unlike a script which the user invokes directly and expects to work, a man page is read by invoking "man", and it will be obvious to the user if "man" is missing and needs to be installed. -- Matt -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
