All I can say is that from my point of view, I haven't done anything to break it & the man pages are not double installed. $ locate mkdir | grep "/usr/share/man/" /usr/share/man/man1/mkdir.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/mkdirhier.1x.gz /usr/share/man/man1p/mkdir.1p.gz /usr/share/man/man2/mkdir.2.gz /usr/share/man/man3p/mkdir.3p.gz Also the number of emerges to same the same package doesn't affect it either. -- Cheers, Maxim Vexler (hq4ever).
