Description Roland McGrath 2005-10-14 21:14:34 UTC
This is a placeholder bug for inappropriately filed bugs to be DUP'd to.

The GNU C Library does not contain Unix-style man pages.
They are not part of the GNU C Library Reference manual, and are not maintained
by the glibc maintenance effort this bug database serves.  

The "manual" component in bugzilla is for issues with the GNU C Library
Reference Manual, which is the large Texinfo manual included in the glibc source
distribution and usually called "libc" in your Info tree.

If you are using man pages on a GNU/Linux system, these may be those from the
man-pages packages maintained by <mtk-manpages@gmx.net>.  Please contact that
address or look elsewhere for the appropriate place to report your issues.

They have nothing to do with glibc.
