manual problem

danfou · 12-08-2006, 04:09 PM

HI,

I made a mistake to set my rpm with no-manual.
So now when I: man ls
it returns: No manual entry for ls

I want to get the manual of all the basic softwares I've installed.
Is there a way without reinstall them?

First, please tell me how to let man ls work.
Thanks.

re-install the coreutils package.

how to reinstall?
if I remove coreutils, things like yum, rpm are all removed

Thanks again.

Just do a normal install; don't bother to remove the existing package. Add the --allfiles option.

rpm -i --allfiles <packagename>

From the rpm man pages:

--allfiles
Installs or upgrades all the missingok files in the package, regardless if they exist.
