#64409 new defect
cdrtools installs manpages for system functions
Reported by: | ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt) | Owned by: | |
---|---|---|---|
Priority: | Normal | Milestone: | |
Component: | ports | Version: | 2.7.99 |
Keywords: | Cc: | ||
Port: | cdrtools |
Description
The cdrtools port installs manpages which describe system functions. For example:
$ port provides /opt/local/share/man/man3/strlen.3.gz /opt/local/share/man/man3/strlen.3.gz is provided by: cdrtools
If I look up the manpage for strlen
by using man strlen
, this manpage from cdrtools is displayed, hiding the system strlen
manpage which I actually wanted to see.

I can't upgrade smake because of this issue:

I just noticed this also, when looking for
sprintf
, and found the issue described here:https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-from-scratch-13/blfs-8-1-cdrtools-overwrites-system-man-pages-4175622249/
and that Homebrew does the following to remove the manpages from the output:
