1 | This package contains Linux man pages for sections |

9 | "make" will move the pages from this package that are older than |
10 | the already installed ones to a subdirectory `not_installed', | |
11 | then remove old versions (compressed or not), | |
12 | compress the pages, and copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8]. | |

15 | Note that you may have to remove preformatted pages. | |
16 | ||
17 | Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages | |
18 | also distributed in other packages. This has been reported | |
19 | about dlclose.3, dlerror.3, dlopen.3, dlsym.3 (found in ld.so), | |
20 | about resolver.3, resolv.conf.5 (found in bind-utils), | |
21 | and about passwd.5, and mailaddr.7. Be careful not to | |
22 | overwrite more up-to-date versions. | |
23 | Reports on further duplicates are welcome. | |
24 | Formerly present and now removed duplicates: | |
fea681da MK |
25 | exports.5 (found in nfs-server-2.2*), |
26 | fstab.5, nfs.5 (found in util-linux-2.12*), | |
27 | lilo.8, lilo.conf.5 (found in lilo-21.6*). | |
