Manual.txt location bug in mutt-1.14.1 - 1.14.2
by dive from LinuxQuestions.org on (#54B7W)
Hello all.
Pressing F1 in mutt usually brings up /usr/doc/mutt-$VERSION/manual.txt in a pager. The location is hardcoded in /etc/mutt/Muttrc.
A bug was introduced in 1.14.1 with the location pointing to /usr/local/share/... and --docdir is ignored for manual.txt. At the moment, if F1 is pressed it pops up an error.

I've tested this on 1.14.2 and it works fine. Hopefully 1.14.3 will arrive soon with a permafix.

| For now, one workaround would be: ./configure .... (cd doc && make clean) make make install I'll work on fixing this up and get another release out as soon as I can. |
