I just solved a long standing issue with GRASS 6.4.3 on my pc, under
SuSE 12.3 linux. I use the GEO repository for all GIS packages.
Since long I have not been able to install plugins/add-ons in GRASS,
either through the commandline or the menu (wxpython gui).
Yesterday I discovered why! In the standard GRASS 6.4.3 package under
GEO:repository for SUSE 12.3, the g.html2man script is missing! Since
this seems to be essential under the install procedure for addons,
attempts to install add-ons failes!
Remedy (for my part); downloaded the sourcepackage for grass 6.4.3;
found g.html2man script and copied it to /opt/grass/tools, and made
scertain it had the right permissions! And now I can install add-ons!
Regards
larsf
PS! How do I communicate this bug to the GEO repository maintainers?

Hi Lars,
after we fixed to integrate the g.html2man script to the grass package, it
is now no longer possible to install the grass package itself, without
manually ignoring this error:
failed on file /opt/grass/tools/g.html2man: cpio: rename failed - Is a
directory error: grass-6.4.3-4.4.x86_64: install failed error:
grass-6.4.3-3.19.x86_64: erase skipped
We haven't found a solution to fix this yet, and because many people
recently complained, that grass can't be updated/installed automatically, we
decided to revert the g.html2man fix for now.
We will build and integrate the g.html2man script to the grass package
again, once we find a solution for the error above.

Hi Otto,
the script used to be installed into $GISBASE/tools/g.html2man/g.html2man, but we simplified things (a long time ago now) by removing the extra dir. If you install on a clean computer it's fine. If you try to install over the top of an older grass installation you get the error. the solution is to clean out the old version before installing the new one, luckily in grass this is very easy, just delete the grass dir. the problem was annoying enough that now we specifically try a rmdir in the 'make install' just before copying that file over. That's in 6.4.3. see:
