Bug#4936: Makefile omission in dpkg
Package: dpkg
In the source version of dpkg, dpkg_1.2.11.tar.gz, the installation of
the dselect(8) man page is commented out. I don't think this is
right. Perhaps it works for initial installations where dpkg is
already on a startup floppy, but for upgrades etc it ought to be
installed. At least, I can't think of a reason it would hurt. Just
uncomment the install in the file dselect/Makefile, just after the
main install target (the last line in the excerpt below).
install: all
$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) -s dselect $(bindir)/dselect
# $(INSTALL_DATA) dselect.8 $(man8dir)/dselect.$(man8)
Thanks!
