RHBA-2013:0392 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated man packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.

Description

The man packages provide the man, apropos, and whatis tools to find information
and documentation about the Linux system.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, the patch for the man-pages-overrides package ignored localized

man pages. Consequently, installing this package also overrode man pages
localized in different languages. With this update, this bug has been fixed and
man pages from the man-pages-overrides package now override only man pages in
the same language. (BZ#815209)

All users of man are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
