Subject: manpages-dev: [trivial] ppoll(2) symlinks to itself instead of poll(2)

Date: Sat, 29 Apr 2006 13:24:16 +0200

Package: manpages-dev
Version: 2.26-1
Severity: minor


	Hello,

# man ppoll
man: can't resolve /usr/share/man/man2/ppoll.2.gz: Too many levels of
symbolic links
No manual entry for ppoll
# ls -l /usr/share/man/man2/ppoll.2.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 29 10:12 /usr/share/man/man2/ppoll.2.gz ->
ppoll.2.gz

The fix should be obvious :) poll(2) also documents ppoll. 

Regards,
