Description Matthew Barnes 2009-06-29 04:14:36 UTC 
Forwarding this from a Fedora bug:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=507447

[Ed: Judging from the man.xml.in file I expect the omission of section 2 is intentional.  Still, it would be helpful to document the rationale before closing this.]

Description of problem:

Yelp doesn't show any manual pages for section 2 (system calls).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

yelp-2.26.0-3.fc11.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start yelp from either the command line or the System menu
2. Click 'Manual Pages'
3. Explore list of sections and find no section 2 man pages.

Actual results:

Applications (Sections 1, 1p, 1g and 1t)
Configuration Files (5)
Development (3, 3o, 3t)
Games (6)
Hardware Devices (4)
Overviews (7, 7gcc)
System Administration (8, 8l)

Expected results:

Section 2 included (New section named 'system calls'? Part of Development?)

Yelp no longer has a list of man pages, so this is obsolete.
