https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=223559 Bug ID: 223559 Summary: man does not find catpages if the manN sub-directory is missing Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: wosch@FreeBSD.org I tried to run man(1) for catpages only. It does not work if the corresponding manN sub-directory is missing How to repeat: $ mkdir man man/cat1 $ man cat | gzip > man/cat1/cat.1.gz $ man -M man cat No manual entry for cat Workaround: create a dummy, empty manN sub-directories. $ mkdir man/man1 $ man -M man cat [ now it is working ] -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
