Hi Erwin,
the new man-db has problems with some man pages
as it takes only strict ".so" directive

$ man u2d
man: can't open /usr/share/man/dos2unix.1: No such file or directory
No manual entry for u2d

  $ gzip -c -d /usr/share/man/man1/d2u.1.gz
.so dos2unix.1

and the pages are all "*1.gz"

replacing with ".so dos2unix.1.gz" seems to work.

Regards
Marco

it seems a man path search defect of man db

$ cd /
$ man u2d
man: can't open /usr/share/man/dos2unix.1: No such file or directory
No manual entry for u2d

but
$ cd /usr/share/man/man1/
$ man u2d

works.

As
$ gzip -cd u2d.1.gz
.so unix2dos.1

man-db is looking on the wrong directory, while for

$ gzip -cd zcat.1.gz
.so man1/gzip.1

$ man zcat
works fine everywhere


Regards
Marco

the reason way only u2d man page has problem

request

it is because it has a double redirection while
all the other pages have a single ".so" redirection


d2u.1.gz         .so dos2unix.1
mac2unix.1.gz    .so dos2unix.1
u2d.1.gz         .so unix2dos.1
unix2dos.1.gz    .so dos2unix.1
unix2mac.1.gz    .so dos2unix.1

u2d.1.gz         .so unix2dos.1
  -> unix2dos.1.gz    .so dos2unix.1
    -> dos2unix.1.gz   the_real_page

$ ls -l *unix*
-rw-r--r-- 1 marco None 7143 Aug  5 00:31 dos2unix.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 marco None   46 Aug  5 00:31 mac2unix.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 marco None   46 Aug  5 00:31 unix2dos.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 marco None   46 Aug  5 00:31 unix2mac.1.gz


So it is a limitation of man-db but the workaround is very simple

$ cp d2u.1.gz u2d.1.gz

Marco

Hi Marco,

Thanks for the report. In the next release I link u2d.1.gz directly to 
dos2unix.1.gz.

On Linux the d2u and u2d links are not installed. This is only done on 
Cygwin, because the previous dos2unix implementation (part of cygutils) 
used to have these commands.

regards,
