I could build a PDF book of Unix V10 vol1 just removing that file. I have asked help-make@ in case anyone has an idea to workaround this. I also have some doubts, in case anyone know the answer: alx@devuan:~/Downloads/unix$ tar xf v10src.tar.bz2 alx@devuan:~/Downloads/unix$ tree -d man/ man/ ├── adm │ ├── man0 │ ├── man1 │ ├── man2 │ ├── man3 │ ├── man4 │ ├── man5 │ ├── man6 │ ├── man7 │ ├── man8 │ ├── man9 │ └── tjunk ├── index ├── man0 │ └── tjunk ├── man1 ├── man10 ├── man2 ├── man3 ├── man4 ├── man5 ├── man6 ├── man7 ├── man8 ├── man9 ├── mana ├── manb ├── manw └── manx 30 directories What's the /man/adm/ directory?
