Description
When building this package the configure script searches for various programs such as cat, cmp and others When a program is found, the loop carries on and re-finds a program in /static/bin Here is an example: ++ Fcat=missing + test -f /bin/cat + eval Fcat=/bin/cat Fcat=/bin/cat ++ Fcat=/bin/cat + test -f /usr/bin/cat + test -f /usr/ucb/cat + test -f /usr/local/bin/cat + test -f /bin/cat + eval Fcat=/bin/cat Fcat=/bin/cat ++ Fcat=/bin/cat + test -f /usr/bin/cat + test -f /sbin/cat + test -f /usr/sbin/cat + test -f /static/bin/cat + eval Fcat=/static/bin/cat Fcat=/static/bin/cat ++ Fcat=/static/bin/cat as you can see, the /bin/cat is overridden by /static/bin/cat. Last found, first out. To fix this I suggest that you put export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin at the start of the man-1 package build instructions.
