Description

I don't know if someone really cares about this, but there are packages in LFS that still install their man pages into /usr/man, even tough mandir has been defined as /usr/share/man in FHS. I know that LFS still makes symlinks /usr/man -> /usr/share/man and such, but I think it is time those symlinks go away. I found 2 packages which install their man pages into /usr/man

bzip2: Following sed fixes that

sed -i "s@(PREFIX)/man@(PREFIX)/share/man@g" Makefile

ncurses: Just use --mandir=/usr/share/man

I'll find some more when I get to them. Don't close this bug untill then.

flex needs --mandir=/usr/share/man and --infodir=/usr/share/info
