Source: attr Version: 1:2.4.47-2 Tags: patch Hi,
the attr upstream has agreed in 2015 with the Linux kernel man-pages project to remove the manpages for *xattr syscalls. See bug #825022 for more details.
Unfortunately, upstream has not released a new version yet with those pages removed.
Therefore, I'm going to add a "Conflicts: libattr1-dev, attr" to the Debian package manpages.
It would be great if you could find the time for another upload of the attr package, removing the manpages in question so that the conflicts would be no longer needed.
I've attached a patch which does exactly that -- until upstream releases a new version.
What do you think? Regards, Tobias
