Bug#413989: redirect (.so or symlink) man pages missing for functions documented with others
Package: glibc-doc
Version: 2.3.6.ds1-13
Several functions which are documented in manual pages named for other
functions return "No manual entry for foo".
This is because the symlinks which are normally created in their names
are missing.
eg:
$ man sigwait
No manual entry for sigwait
fix:
# ln -s pthread_sigmask.3.gz /usr/share/man/man3/sigwait.3.gz
alternative fix:
# cat >/usr/share/man/man3/sigwait.3 <<EOF
.so man3/pthread_sigmask.3.gz
EOF
At least pthread_kill(3) and sigwait(3) are missing.
I haven't looked for others.
Regards,
Tom
