Description Adam McDougall 2013-12-10 18:50:00 UTC

I noticed from the standard "weekly run output" emails that the libevent package installs some broken manpage links on 10 (see below).

Example:
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  5596 Dec  3 22:51 event.3.gz
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    11 Dec  3 22:51 event_add.3.gz -> ../man/-.gz
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    11 Dec  3 22:51 event_base_dispatch.3.gz -> ../man/-.gz
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    11 Dec  3 22:51 event_base_loop.3.gz -> ../man/-.gz
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  11 Dec  3 22:51 bufferevent_base_set.3.gz -> ../man/-.gz
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  11 Dec  3 22:51 bufferevent_disable.3.gz -> ../man/-.gz
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  11 Dec  3 22:51 bufferevent_enable.3.gz -> ../man/-.gz

How-To-Repeat: I've been using poudriere on 10 to compile pkgng packages.  I do not see the same problem on 9 for some reason.

devel/libevent2 never had any manpages.

devel/libevent had two: event.3, evdns.3 and a lot of symlinks. MLINKS regressed in ports r176586 and later removed in ports r340280. The port itself is gone since ports r362796.
