cannot display man page for /bin/passwd


When I try to display the man page for /bin/passwd, the man page for
the openssl passwd subcommand is displayed.

It appears that both the package containing /bin/passwd, and the
openssl package place the passwd.1.gz file in the /usr/share/man/man1
directory, so that only the man page from the most recently installed
package is displayed.

When I first observed the problem, I think I saw two man pages listed,
but I could only display the openssl page. In an attempt to clean this
up, I executed "mandb -cq" to rebuild the man page cache. Now, only
the openssl passwd page is available.

Attached is the output from cygcheck -svr.

Thanks,
Doug
