Wrong Version of the smpatch(1M) Man Page Appears on Solaris 9 Systems (4860008)

Description:

The wrong version of the smpatch(1M) man page appears when you run the man command on a Solaris 9 system.

The smpatch(1M) man page that appears pertains to the Solaris 2.6, Solaris 7, and Solaris 8 version of the smpatch command.

Cause:

This happens when the /opt/SUNWppro/man directory appears ahead of the /usr/man directory in your MANPATH.

Workaround:

Ignore the version of the smpatch(1M) man page that is installed in the /opt/SUNWppro/man/man1m directory.

Instead, refer to the man page installed in the /usr/man/sman1m directory, which contains the Solaris 9 version of the smpatch command.

# man -M /usr/man -s 1m smpatch

Or, ensure that the /usr/man directory appears ahead of the /opt/SUNWppro/man directory in your MANPATH.
