[Bug 5338] New: spamc manpage not generated correctly on OpenBSD platform
http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5338
Summary: spamc manpage not generated correctly on OpenBSD
platform
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 3.1.8
Platform: Other
OS/Version: OpenBSD
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P5
Component: spamc/spamd
AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
ReportedBy: benny@bennyvision.com
For many, many releases, the spamc manpage has not been generated correctly on
OpenBSD. When the /etc/weekly script runs, part of the process involves running
'makewhatis' which barfs as follows:
Couldn't find subject in old manpage /usr/local/man/man1/spamc.1
Unknown manpage type /usr/local/man/man1/spamc.1
The fix is very simple - I just need to cd back into the spamc/ subdirectory,
and issue the following: 'pod2man spamc.pod > /usr/local/man/man1/spamc.1'
Once that is done, the manpage is generated correctly and the /etc/weekly script
doesn't complain again.

when you run "make install", does 'blib/man1/spamc.1p' get generated?
If it does, does it look valid when you run "nroff -man 'blib/man1/spamc.1p'"?
This file should be generated during hte "make install" process; if it's not
being generated, I think it's more likely an ExtUtils::MakeMaker bug on OpenBSD
for some reason.
possibly, pod2man behaves differently if you run it from the "spamc" dir instead
of the top level, or maybe the command it's running on OpenBSD generates bad
output. for what it's worth, here's what it runs on linux:
/usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" -e pod2man "--" --section=1p --perm_rw=644\
sa-compile blib/man1/sa-compile.1p \
lib/spamassassin-run.pod blib/man1/spamassassin-run.1p \
sa-learn blib/man1/sa-learn.1p \
spamassassin blib/man1/spamassassin.1p \
spamd/spamd blib/man1/spamd.1p \
spamc/spamc.pod blib/man1/spamc.1p \
sa-update blib/man1/sa-update.1p
an abbreviated form that produces the same output (except for the timestamp) is:
perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" -e pod2man "--" --section=1p --perm_rw=644
spamc/spamc.pod o
I'd be curious to hear if that command's output differs from what is normally
installed as /usr/local/man/man1/spamc.1, too.

(btw this is the last bug in the list to fix for 3.2.0 before release, so a
speedy answer would be appreciated ;)

thanks for the shell account -- it let me find and fix the problem pretty quickly.
it seems the problem is that 'installman1dir' was not set in the perl-wide
%Config, although 'installsiteman1dir' was (which is the one used for
site-specific man pages? not sure). this was inhibiting install of the man1
pages, incorrectly. now fixed:
: jm 1358...; svn commit -m "bug 5338: check Config{installsiteman1dir} and
Config{installvendorman1dir} as well as Config{installman1dir}, otherwise we can
wind up not installing many of the important man pages when we should do so"

hmm, I'm stumped. A login would really help, I think... my GPG key is on the
key servers or at http://jmason.org/gpgkey.txt if you'd prefer to encrypt the
details. ;)

Created an attachment (id=3882)
--> (http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/attachment.cgi?id=3882&action=view)
Log from 'make clean', 'perl Makefile.PL', 'make', and 'make install'
If this attachment thing doesn't work, let me know, I can send it to you
directly. It's about 40K or so?

Whoops, I forgot a detail... This is for a source build, _not_ the OpenBSD port
or anything like that.

Sorry. :(
Justin - I can provide you a non-root shell on one of my OpenBSD machines, if
that would help you track this down.

thanks for the speedy response ;) Could you:
(a) post a cut and paste log from
make clean ; perl Makefile.PL; make; make install
(b) also post the output of
perl -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -e 'print $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION'
(c) if that version is < 6.17, could you try upgrading that?

Hmmm, yeah, no pressure there. ;)
In answer to your question, no, blib/man1/spamc.1p does not get generated by
'make install':
[root@electron ~/SpamAssassin/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.8]# ls -l blib/man1/
total 98
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 37001 Mar 15 09:32 sa-learn.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 12023 Mar 15 09:32 sa-update.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 14776 Mar 15 09:32 spamassassin.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3760 Mar 15 09:32 spamc.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 28390 Mar 15 09:32 spamd.1
The only thing 'make install' had to say about spamc.1 is:
Installing /usr/local/man/man1/spamc.1
The spamc.1 manpage IS installed:
[root@electron ~/SpamAssassin/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.8]# ls -al
/usr/local/man/man1/spamc.1
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 3760 Mar 15 09:32 /usr/local/man/man1/spamc.1
But is not valid:
[root@electron ~/SpamAssassin/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.8]# man spamc
man: Formatting manual page...
[root@electron ~/SpamAssassin/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.8]#
'man' exits with exit code 0, but does not display the man page. :(
What else can I do to help?
