Hi,

in /etc/postinstall/00bash.sh, it says (unconditionally):

----
# Get rid of ash manpage, if it is in the way of our compressed page.
rm -f /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1
----

Is this a known problem waiting for the new setup?
In effect, "man sh" fails, and "cygcheck -vc bash" says:

----
Package              Version        Status
Missing file: /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1 from package bash
bash                 3.0-8          Incomplete
----

What about:
- leave sh.1 out of the bash tarball in the first place, and
- in postinstall, only if "man sh" is supposed to work:

----
# Get rid of ash manpage, if it is in the way of our compressed page.
rm -f /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1
ln -sf /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz
----

Any opinions?
Thanks,
	Jan.
