[Slackbuilds-users] [SlackBuilds] plan9port overwrites system defaults (and that isn't documented)

[David Chmelik]

I installed Slackware-stable in a chroot and kept standard 
/etc/man_db.conf and /etc/profile, including $MANPATH except, made $PS1 
show I'm in chroot, and it still happens; plan9port installs manpages 
which replace default system manpages in precedence order: I never said 
'gets installed in /usr/man' (did you actually type 'man mount' and see 
default replaced in precedence order?).
