Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] [signoff] man-db 2.5.3-2 replacing man

Replacing man with man-db will leave the old whatis databases on the system, with no package owning them. On my system: /opt/java/jre/man/whatis /opt/java/man/whatis /usr/local/man/whatis /usr/man/whatis /usr/man/it/whatis /usr/share/man/whatis /usr/share/man/it/whatis A warning about the issue? A solution could be a man package update with an uninstall script that take care of this, then go on with man-db.

Just found another issue. I'll take /usr/share/man/man3p/abs.3p.gz for example. man 3p abs: ok man -a abs: shows only abs(3)
From man-db.conf: SECTION 1 n l 8 3 2 5 4 9 6 7
Adding 3p to the sections fixes the problem (see also 1p). I have not searched for other missing sections.

Another example: "_toupper" is present only in 3p. $ man _toupper No manual entry for _toupper
