This is an interesting thread, related to the future (and/or current state) of gcj: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2009-02/msg4.html Which is not to say that cygwin's gcc distribution shouldn't include it, or ensure that it works as well as possible, but it may explain why some distros are packag

It took a while to track this down, but the issue is in ncurses' internal mechanisms for installing man pages. Basically, it's too clever for its own good. Simple packages do this: I have man page. I put man page in mandir. The end. /usr/share/man/man1/foo.1 Sometimes, they might have aliase
