Details

Description:
the PKGBUILD of python contain this line:
ln -sf python${_pybasever}.1 "${pkgdir}/usr/share/man/man1/python3.1"
when it should contain this line:
ln -sf python${_pybasever}.1 "${pkgdir}/usr/share/man/man1/python3.2"

The maintainer forgot to change the python version. Maybe that could be prevented by using a more general designation, but that means changing upstream naming scheme:
ln -sf python${_pybasever}.1 "${pkgdir}/usr/share/man/man1/python" ->As recommended in archlinux
OR
ln -sf python${_pybasever}.1 "${pkgdir}/usr/share/man/man1/python3" -> old way of designation in arch(not recommended anymore)

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
This task depends upon

The man page for "python3" is in section 1, so the compressed filename for the manpage is python3.1.gz
What is the problem ?

Hi,
now I understand the naming scheme. Shame on me I thought it was the version of python and not the section of the man pages. You are free to close the bug.

PD: Sorry for you wasted time
