Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Manuel Menal (mmenal-guest) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: man-db package broken with a separate /usr Initial Comment: The hurd-i386 man-db package is broken when you have a separate /usr directory, which is the default for Debian GNU/Hurd. Here is why : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ strings -a /usr/bin/man|grep gzip /usr/bin/gzip -c7 /usr/bin/gzip -dc /usr/bin/gzip -dc -S "" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -L gzip|grep bin/gzip$ /bin/gzip man-db's configure finds the path to the gzip executable (with AC_PATH_PROG). It is then hardcoded into the man binary. As you can see, the hardcoded path is /usr/bin/gzip whereas the gzip package only ships /bin/gzip. So it works with a /usr -> . symlink but not with a separate /usr dir. The man-db package must have been built with a /usr -> . symlink and a PATH where /usr/bin appeared before /bin (which is the default for Debian). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=411594&aid=301806&group_id=30628 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
