[Pkg-freeipmi-devel] Bug#860911: freeipmi-tools: /usr/share/man/man5/bmc-config.conf.5.gz contains a link to an invalid location

[Ryan]

Package: freeipmi-tools
Version: 1.4.11-1.1+b1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

Part 1: Invalid manpage link
Checking manpages with mandb -t reported:
 mandb: can't open /usr/share/man/man8/ipmi-config.conf.5: No such file or directory
 mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man5/bmc-config.conf.5.gz: bad symlink or ROFF `.so' request

Checking the man file content shows an invalid link:
~ zcat /usr/share/man/man5/bmc-config.conf.5.gz
.so man8/ipmi-config.conf.5

Fix option a: Text change 'man8' to 'man5'
 .so man5/ipmi-config.conf.5

(If doing this, I'd also suggest _not_ making it gz, it is smaller
uncompressed)

Fix option b: replace the file with a symlink:
bmc-config.conf.5.gz -> ipmi-config.conf.5.gz


backing ref: dpkg-query -S /usr/share/man/man5/ipmi-config.conf.5.gz
freeipmi-tools: /usr/share/man/man5/ipmi-config.conf.5.gz

Thanks,
Ryan
