This seems a lot like a kludge to work around another kludge. If socket(2) and socket(7) are Linux-oriented, why are we even shipping them? Maybe the first step would be to split the manpages package so that Linux-specific manpages are moved to a separate "linux-any" package? -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
