Description Mario Blättermann 2021-09-28 18:38:20 CEST

Description of problem:

The package contains an empty man page: grub2-emu.1 has a zero length, and it is no link to another man page. But its content exists in any case, see https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/grub-emu/grub-emu.1.en.html.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
grub2-2.06-5.mga9.src.rpm

Thank you for the report.

After some digging, it appears that the man page has 2 origins:
 grub2-common:/usr/share/man/man1/grub2-emu.1.xz
 grub2-emu:/usr/share/man/man1/grub2-emu.1.xz
but both pkgs come from the same given SRPM.

I do not have Grub2 installed, so cannot look at this... Exactly which package is at fault is not clear; are all the instances empty?

 $ urpmq -l grub2-common | grep grub2-emu.1
/usr/share/man/man1/grub2-emu.1.xz
 $ urpmq -l grub2-emu | grep grub2-emu.1
/usr/share/man/man1/grub2-emu.1.xz
/usr/share/man/man1/grub2-emu.1.xz

 $ urpmq --requires grub2-emu | grep common
grub2-emu: grub2-common[== 2.04.0-29.mga8]
grub2-emu: grub2-common[== 2.06-1.1.mga8]
 $ urpmq --whatrequires grub2-common | grep emu
grub2-emu
grub2-emu-modules

Grub2 is largely maintained by tv, so assigning this to him.
