Yellow Dog Linux Bugfix Announcement ------------------------------------ Package: man Issue Date: April 24, 2000 Update Date: April 24, 2000 Priority: low Advisory ID: YDU-2000424-1 1. Topic: This bugfix update corrects the default configuration file for the man package. 2. Problem: The default /etc/man.config configuration was not setup by default to allow viewing of non-gzipped manual pages. All man pages included with software on the Champion Server 1.2 CDs are gzipped. Only man pages from software not installed from the CS 1.2 CDs was not viewable due to this bug. 3. Solution: a) Updating via yup... We suggest that you use the Yellow Dog Update Program (yup) to keep your system up-to-date.
