man pages going to the wrong spot?

[Ray Strode]

Hi,

So Matthias was looking over a yelp bug when we noticed that some X man
pages were getting installed in /usr/share/man/man3 instead
of /usr/share/man/man3x despite having the .3x extension.

This lead me to check my system for other occurances of the bug:
[rstrode at halflap] (~) <02:39 PM>
$ for mandir in /usr/share/man/man*; do find $mandir -type f -a ! -name
"*.$(basename $mandir | sed 's/^man//').gz" -exec rpm -qf {} \; ; done
| sort -u

But then, this list is only the list of packages on my machine.
It would be useful if core and extras package maintainers would go
through their packages and fix things up.

It would also be neat if we could automatically test this...  Dave,
John, do you guys have any ideas on that front?
