Bug ID: 214163
Summary: hardcoded library paths in FILES section
Product: Documentation
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86-64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: man-pages
Assignee: documentation_man-pages@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
Reporter: giecrilj@stegny.2a.pl
Regression: No
For example:
/usr/lib/gconv Usual default gconv module path.
This is not the default path for 64-bit native programs under openSUSE. The
default path is:
* /usr/lib64/gconv for 64-bit native programs
* /usr/lib/gconv for 32-bit native programs
Therefore, it is not practical to patch the manual pages to replace lib with
lib64, for example.
Manual pages should support multiple architectures as a concept.

--- Comment #2 from Christopher Yeleighton (giecrilj@stegny.2a.pl) ---
This is the fix for SUSE. I believe Debian has a different multiarch fs
layout. But it can stay if the LFS says so.
In ldconfig(8) terms, we would probably take the subdirectory "gconv" of the
"trusted directory" for the active architecture under /usr. I would appreciate
a reference to that manual page containing the authoritative explanation of the
concept.
