Missing setxattr(2) man-page
 

Please could someone with a full slackware64-current install tell me which package the setxattr man-page is found in?

It was missing from my system and I had to rerun the man-pages.slackbuild in order to have it included. The slackbuild contains some code that tries to remove duplicate manpages and I assume that is removing the man-page from Pat's official man-pages package and I'd like to confirm that is the case.

I don't have a full install here (no kde and a few other minor packages missing), so I can't check for myself.

Is this the right search?

Hmmm, yes, but I was expecting it to show up in another package. After rebuilding man-pages locally, I now get this
As you can see, the other 2 are just redirections to setxattr.2 and won't work without it. I'd assumed it was because I didn't have a full install, but perhaps Pat just needs to rebuild the man-pages package.

Thanks for your reply. :)

P.S. I really ought to start using /var/lib/pkgtools too, but muscle memory wins out! ;)

Is the man page missing?

ps- I had to struggle, but got new muscle memory for the new packages dir :)
I think the 10-finger typing helps, all my passwords I remember by it's muscle memory.

You do not need a full install of Slackware to know what file belongs to which package. You can use the Slackware packages site to search for any file under the mode "content".

Edit: So that man page belonged to the "attr" package in 14.2 and I suppose it vanished during one of the updates without anyone noticing until now.

Thanks orbea. That would explain it.
