Details

Description:

Since yesterday's update, the man page for gcc is not there anymore.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
gcc 4.4.0-5

Steps to reproduce:

man gcc (or man g++)

>>
Manual page g++(1) line ?/? (END)

followed by an empty page.

I've checked an the compressed man file is 26 bytes, so I'm pretty sure there's nothing in it.
This task depends upon

Cannot reproduce: I have gcc 4.4.0-5 installed and the manpages are still there.

I've asked a few people around me and on the IRC channel, and they could all reproduce. Maybe this is limited to i686?

I have the same problem on my i686 laptop, but not on my x86_64 desktop. Download the package for i686 manually and peek inside -- usr/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz is empty.

More info. The g++ man page is also missing, all others appear to be intact. The GCC-4.4.0-4 package has the man pages, it's just 4.4.0-5 that doesn't.

archlinux% pacman -Q gcc
gcc 4.4.0-5

archlinux% man gcc
Manual page gcc(1) line ?/? (END)

I confirm that this bug is on i686 only.

no idea what happened. rebuild and checked before upload. man-pages are present:

[andyrtr@workstation64 trunk]$ ls -lh pkg/usr/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 andyrtr andyrtr 186K 9. Jul 21:15 pkg/usr/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz
[andyrtr@workstation64 trunk]$ ls -lh pkg/usr/share/man/man1/
insgesamt 436K
-rw-r--r-- 1 andyrtr andyrtr 13K 9. Jul 21:15 cpp.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 andyrtr andyrtr 186K 9. Jul 21:15 g++.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 andyrtr andyrtr 186K 9. Jul 21:15 gcc.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 andyrtr andyrtr 7,9K 9. Jul 21:15 gcov.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 andyrtr andyrtr 18K 9. Jul 21:15 gfortran.1.gz

should be fixed in -5.1 for i686
