Description: manual page is now missing from /usr/share/man/
upon installation
Steps to reproduce: pacman -S pandoc Note: I used to have a man page for pandoc, and the PKGBUILD does not seem to have changed, so I am unsure why this is happening. Someone on freenode/#archlinux suggested that it may be the fault of runhaskell, but I am unsure. Thank you. |

It looks like the solution was as simple as cp'ing the file "${srcdir}"/pandoc-${pkgver}/man/pandoc.1 into the package, which is provided in the tarball sources (no need to build it or anything).
I'm a bit sad you didn't mention this in the bug report, since it is really low-hanging fruit and maybe if a TU realized how easy it is to fix, we could have fixed it a long time ago. Perhaps the package maintainer didn't know where it was supposed to be, and hadn't found time to take a look (Felix is most likely the busiest maintainer in all of Arch).
