lanadmin man pages

[Tom Horan]

I am having a strange problem after installing three patches. I installed PHKL_16751, PHNE_22216 and PHNE_23862 to rectify a problem with the duplex and speed settings on my K class (10.20).

Since then if I try to do a man on lanadmin I get the following:

Reformatting entry. Wait ... aborted(sorry).

Has anyone ever had this issue before?

Cheers

Never heard of it before. But, for a quick test, what happens if you take a temporary copy of the current lanadmin manpage, & copy back the old manpage from a backup?

/usr/share/man/man1m.Z/lanadmin.1m (from patch PHNE_23862)

I am thinking there is a problem with the man page of 'lanadmin'.

Share and Enjoy! Ian

Hmm, so I assume this all worked before the patch install?

You may want to check that all patches are installed AND confiogured by doing:
swlist -l fileset -a state | grep -e transient -e install -e corrupt

and see what you get as output (hopefully nothing)

The other thing to check is where the man pages from the patches were put, and see if the are files in that specific man page subdir that are 0 (or really small like 3-7 bytes) in size, and remove these.

Have you this patch installed:

s800 10.20 HP-PB 100BT cumulative patch
http://us-support3.external.hp.com/wpsl/bin/doc.pl/screen=wpslDisplayPatch/sid=7b3768c0095121073f?PATCH_PATH=/hp-ux_patches/s800/10.X/PHNE_23921&HW=s800&OS=10.20

Also, if you haven't already, I'd suggest using the custom patch manager.

hi,

is this error only with the lanadmin man page?
or any other related commands (landiag? netstat?).

Check the MANPATH setting and find out where the man command is picking the landiag page from.
(echo $MANPATH and for each dir listed- find -name "*lanadmin*" )

Check the size and compare it with a working system (in case you have one); if problem, you can always restore it from an backup.

Hi. I also am experiencing
the same error with the man lanadmin command. And also have installed PHNE_23862 (which is where I think the problem lies). I found it interesting that when I do a "man landiag" - the man page from lanadmin appears.
Harry - I do have PHNE_23921 installed.
Melvyn - I performed your swlist command and did have some corruption - but none of it relates to this patch. By the way, what do you have do to correct the corruption that appears? (Inquiring minds want to know)
So all - is this a problem with patch PHNE_23862?
