Type/Severity

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.
