if undocumented(7) is unavailable, I don't see that message. I see "No manual entry for foo", and then proceed to file a bug. It was only through further investigation that I realised the bug had already been filed and that the man page was really a dangling symlink. -- Sam C

undocumented(7)

2001-07-06 Thread Sam Couter
Simple question for the day: Should a package that has a symlink to undocumented(7) also have a Depends: on the package that contains undocumented(7) (manpages)? It seems silly to me that a package could have a symlink to a non-existant man page in place of its own non-existant man page. -- Sam

Which languages do they speak? Which jurisdictions are they qualified for? The last time I saw a request for *real* legal help go out, it was met with silence. I don't see how the English speaking non-lawyers can do a job any better than the Spanish or French or Esperanto speaking non-lawy

on't rely on it working though, you really need to check why the patches didn't apply, and make sure things are still right. -- Sam Couter | Internet Engineer | http://www.topic.com.au/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]| tSA Consulting | OpenPGP key ID: DE89C75C, avail
