I've found the same problem, also as described by #16354. i.e. I installed
coreutils with the with_default_names variant; and now have symlinks for
the default-named man pages that are supposed to point to the 'g*' named
pages:
{{{
$ ls -l /opt/local/share/man/man1/{g,}ls*
-r--r--r-- 2 root admin 2964 16 Jan 16:33
/opt/local/share/man/man1/gls.1.gz
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 31 16 Jan 16:34
/opt/local/share/man/man1/ls.1@ -> /opt/local/share/man/man1/gls.1
}}}
As you can see, the actual man page is compressed, but the symlink points
to a non-existing uncompressed version of the man page file. Thus, "man
ls" does not bring up the man page for the MacPorts 'ls', ("man gls" does,
but that's a very awkward thing to have to remember).
Thanks,
Ben
