Can you man ping on gentoo ? If not it’s probably because of this: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158660

I wanted to install iputils man pages:
# echo "net-misc/iputils doc" >> /etc/portage/package.use
# emerge -avt iputils
[ebuild R ] net-misc/iputils-20060512 USE="doc* -ipv6 -static" 0 kB
[ebuild N ] app-text/docbook-sgml-utils-0.6.14 USE="tetex" 123 kB
[ebuild N ] dev-perl/SGMLSpm-1.03-r5 92 kB


SGMLSpm installation went fine but docbook-sgml-utils-0.6.14 did not complete. Here is some of the last output-errors:

I had no docbook-sgml-dtd 4.3 version installed, so what I did was:
# emerge -avt =app-text/docbook-sgml-dtd-4.3-r2

and then:
# emerge -avt iputils
[ebuild R ] net-misc/iputils-20060512 USE="doc* -ipv6 -static" 0 kB
[ebuild N ] app-text/docbook-sgml-utils-0.6.14 USE="tetex" 0 kB


I can now man ping 🙂
