Ports can have priority over the base system, so unless the person searc= hing for a man page in the base system knows the section number, he could end up with the man page for a port. 2. There's no way for the user to know which port he has found. In this example, the man page carries the title =E2=80=9CScotch user's manual=E2=80= =9D, but that's the only clue. 3. There's no way for the user to know that there are more man pages with t= he same name in different sections. My suggestion: 1. In the short term, update the man page display to explain this situatio= n, something like There may be more than one man page with this name. If you don't find what you're looking for, try 13.1-RELEASE without ports, or try selecting a specific section of the manual. 2. Longer term, rearrange the priorities: base system first, then ports. 3. When displaying port man pages, include information on the name of the port. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
