Bug#2674: Inconsistencies surrounding various termios manpages

[sysadmin@chiark.chu.cam.ac.uk (Ian Jackson)]

Package: manpages
Version: 1.8-1

There is something very odd going on here ...

-chiark:~> cat /usr/man/man3/cfgetispeed.3
.so man3/termios.3
-chiark:~> ls -al /usr/man/man3/termios.3
/bin/ls: /usr/man/man3/termios.3: No such file or directory
-chiark:~> ls -al /usr/man/man2/cfgetispeed.2
/bin/ls: /usr/man/man2/cfgetispeed.2: No such file or directory
-chiark:~> dpkg -S getispeed
manpages: /usr/man/man2/cfgetispeed.2
-chiark:~> grep cfgetispeed /myrddin-anon/debian/unstable/Contents
usr/man/man3/cfgetispeed.3                                   manpages
-chiark:~>

How did man3/cfgetispeed.3 get there, and what happened to
man2/cfgetispeed.2 ?

Thanks to Peter Benie for bringing this to my attention.

Ian.
