Hi guys,
This is my second email about the topic (I have asked the same question when Fedora 15 was released). Is there any plan to ship a working man db at any stage for Fedora?
[root@ip- ~]# rpm -qa | grep man man-pages-3.32-14.fc16.noarch man-db-2.6.0.2-2.fc16.x86_64

thsi should be fine in F-16
Dennis
Just for the sake of the folks searching for this in google:
gholms https://irccloud.com/#!/irc.freenode.net:6667/gholms> l1x: Yes. It will be fixed in the next F16 image. [00:45:41] <l1x https://irccloud.com/#!/irc.freenode.net:6667/l1x> gholms: really? thanks. do you know what is the exact issue? is there a workaround? [00:46:54] <gholms https://irccloud.com/#!/irc.freenode.net:6667/gholms> The kickstart that generated the image specified --nodocs and that setting persisted in the images themselves. [00:48:18] <gholms https://irccloud.com/#!/irc.freenode.net:6667/gholms> You can work around it by deleting the macro that prevents docs from getting installed (I think it's something in /etc/rpm) and then running ``yum reinstall'' on the packages with man pages you care about.
Thanks to gholms.
I am going to check this later on when I am coming back from holiday.
I.
