User Feedback :: man.uci doesn't work



-I open a root shell
-I type

/ramdisk/opt/man/bin/man  mkisofs

-and get a flood of error msgs ending with 'no man page found'
-but the mkisofs  .tar.gz  IS  in man 8 in /opt.

P.S. I have 200+ MB of extensions.  Everything works but wine & man.uci.  I would like a local man without Internet...  "Clobbering"?

UCI packages can't clobber, unless the person who created it made a huge mistake.

It would be very useful if you could post the flood of error messages, as this would be the only way to figure out what went wrong.

The man.uci package was also created when DSL 1.2 was current, so maybe there have been pertinent changes to the system since then.

The first line of error msgs was

/usr/bin/less:  invalid option -- i

I mention clobbering because i have many, many extensions of all types, so am wondering if something else "clobbered" "man".

/usr/bin/less: invalid option -- i
BusyBox v1.2.2 (2006.12.07-15:23+0000) multi-call binary

Usage: less [-EMNmh~?] FILE1 FILE2...

Error executing formatting or display command.
System command (cd /opt/man && (echo ".pl 1100i"; /bin/gunzip -c '/opt/man/man8/mkisofs.8.gz'; echo ".\\\""; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /opt/man/bin/tbl | /opt/man/bin/nroff -mandoc | /opt/man/bin/col | /usr/bin/less -is) exited with status 256.
No manual entry for mkisofs

Quick solution: load gnu-utils

or just replace "less"
