[[br]] [http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2016-February/070820.html] ) According to [http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2015-December/070629.html], man2 and man5 have already been removed in the upstream of the attr package. However, in [http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/7.8/chapter06/attr.html LFS 7.8 ""6.21. Attr-2.4.47""], while preventing installation of the whole man2 of the attr package in order to prevent overwriting already installed man2 of the man-pages package, attr.5 of the attr package overwrites already installed attr.5 of the man-pages package. In addition, it's hard for LFS readers to judge whether this overwriting is intended or not, because there is no supplementary explanation about overwriting in this page. Therefore, I suggest installation of the whole man5 of the attr package is prevented as well as the whole man2. [[br]] (As far as I have checked at present, man5 installed by the attr package is attr.5 only.) If this suggestion is not acceptable, I think at least it would be better to add supplementary explanation that overwriting attr.5 is intended.
