Maintainer reset.
Comment 2 Zsolt Udvari freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-09-27 18:39:24 UTC 
IMHO it's normal because if you install linux-c7-xorg-libs the man page (and other files) conflicts with file(s) of (FreeBSD's) xorg-libs.

Have you tried using man from the linuxolator?
Comment 4 Robert Clausecker freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2025-02-16 15:50:56 UTC 
^Triage: Assign to current maintainer.
Comment 5 Matthias Andree freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2025-06-30 15:37:27 UTC 
The port does install the manual pages, also as of the latest 4.24_4 version

    */*: Various Linux CentOS 7 updates


You need to extend your MANPATH environment variable so that man can find the manual pages under /compat/linux/.

As Zsolt pointed out, they're not going into FreeBSD's default paths.

This PR needs to be closed because that's not a port bug.
