Details

Description:

the libedit package contains a bunch of symlinks in /usr/share/man/man3 (el_end, el_getc, el_gets...) that point to a nonexistent file editline.3. I think they should point to el.3 instead.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
libedit-20080712_2.11-2

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

[arthur@anisoptera ~]$ man el_get
man: warning: /usr/share/man/man3/el_get.3 is a dangling symlink
No manual entry for el_get
This task depends upon

This is an upstream bug. Please report to the developer of the application

Oops sorry its not upstream. usr/share/man/man3/editline.3 is moved to usr/share/man/man3/el.3.gz thus none of the symlinks work.
Apologies.
