Relying on Makefile.am to produce the manpages works. Now I just have to figure out why someone thought that openSUSE should create the manpages directly... :) The following command, using automake's help2man, also fails: perllibdir=lib ./doc/help2man -S FSF ./aclocal \ >/var/tmp/bduilroot/usr/share/man/man1/aclocal.1
