Hello everyone,
I am practicing on the installation of Solaris 8 Core software group. The reason i chose this group so that i could learn what and where to find things. Unfortunately, one thing leads to another. For example, man page was not included in the Core group, so I was able to find its package and after successfully installing it i tried it out - man ls, and got an error message "invalid SMGL". Not sure what this is but have a feeling that it is some library that is missing.
To stop chasing my tails, i have been surfing the sunsolve.sun.com site looking for installation documents that would tell me package dependencies. But i have been unsuccesful.
If anyone could give me a few ideas of where to search i'd really appreciate it.
Have a nice day.
Rachael

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
dh_installman
DH_INSTALLMAN(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLMAN(1)
NAME
dh_installman - install man pages into package build directories
SYNOPSIS
dh_installman [debhelperoptions] [manpage...]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installman is a debhelper program that handles installing man pages into the correct locations in package build directories. You tell it
what man pages go in your packages, and it figures out where to install them based on the section field in their .TH or .Dt line. If you
have a properly formatted .TH or .Dt line, your man page will be installed into the right directory, with the right name (this includes
proper handling of pages with a subsection, like 3perl, which are placed in man3, and given an extension of .3perl). If your .TH or .Dt
line is incorrect or missing, the program may guess wrong based on the file extension.
It also supports translated man pages, by looking for extensions like .ll.8 and .ll_LL.8, or by use of the --language switch.
If dh_installman seems to install a man page into the wrong section or with the wrong extension, this is because the man page has the wrong
section listed in its .TH or .Dt line. Edit the man page and correct the section, and dh_installman will follow suit. See man(7) for
details about the .TH section, and mdoc(7) for the .Dt section. If dh_installman seems to install a man page into a directory like
/usr/share/man/pl/man1/, that is because your program has a name like foo.pl, and dh_installman assumes that means it is translated into
Polish. Use --language=C to avoid this.
After the man page installation step, dh_installman will check to see if any of the man pages in the temporary directories of any of the
packages it is acting on contain .so links. If so, it changes them to symlinks.
Also, dh_installman will use man to guess the character encoding of each manual page and convert it to UTF-8. If the guesswork fails for
some reason, you can override it using an encoding declaration. See manconv(1) for details.
FILES
debian/package.manpages
Lists man pages to be installed.
OPTIONS
-A, --all
Install all files specified by command line parameters in ALL packages acted on.
--language=ll
Use this to specify that the man pages being acted on are written in the specified language.
manpage ...
Install these man pages into the first package acted on. (Or in all packages if -A is specified).
NOTES
An older version of this program, dh_installmanpages(1), is still used by some packages, and so is still included in debhelper. It is,
however, deprecated, due to its counterintuitive and inconsistent interface. Use this program instead.
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
