[arch-general] Postgresql-docs is Broken
I just downloaded the latest 9.01 version of postgresql-docs which supposedly should contain the html documentation for postgresql. Alas, the package size is less than 1 K and when installed, a pacman -Qql only reveals some man directories under /usr/share. There are no files present. Is anyone aware of this situation?

It is a bug, but this isn't the place for reporting it... https://bugs.archlinux.org/?project=1 It is pretty easy to confirm yourself, note the difference in size and the files list: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/postgresql-docs/ http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/postgresql-docs/ Finally, always include the arch of the package if it is not arch='any'. -Dan

I will take a look at the links shortly but in the meantime, I tried to look in the /var/abs/extra for postgresql-docs and there is no directory with PKGBUILD or anything for postresql-docs nor postgresql-lib. I thought abs was supposed to contain the PKGBUILDs and related files for all packages in the Arch repos. What am I missing here?

Looking harder =] /var/abs/extra/postgresql/PKGBUILD Its is a split package. -- «Dans la vie, rien n'est à craindre, tout est à comprendre» Marie Sklodowska Curie.

Interesting. I've never seen a split package like that before. In fact, the previous version of the postgresql package was not constructed that way. This change in the PKGBUILD appears to have shown up with this 9.1 version. I'm in the process of rebuilding the package now to see if I can get the docs available.
