This suggests that packages providing links to the undocumented(7) man page ought perhaps to declare a dependency on the manpages package which provides the target file for the link. That's pretty messy, however. Perhaps, since other packages may presume the presence of the undocumented(7) man page without declaring a dependency on the manpages package, the undocumented(7) manpage should be provided by some package having a priority of Required instead of by the manpages package with a priority of Important. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
