System: NetBSD host.distal.com 4.0_BETA2 NetBSD 4.0_BETA2 (GENERIC.MP) #5: Mon Jul 16 13:56:51 EDT 2007 cross@host.distal.com:/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.MP i386

>Description:
	The man pages for the subcommands of openssl(1) are installed in
different locations than the openssl(1) man page points to (in "SEE ALSO").

>How-To-Repeat:
	Look at the "SEE ALSO" section of the openssl(1) man page.  Realize
that the section-1 man pages listed there don't exist [by those names].
>Fix:
	The problem appears to be in lib/libcrypto/man/libcrypto.pl.  It
searches for these specifically to do a replacement on the text, so that
the resulting man pages will mention openssl_FOO(1) for each FOO(1).  However,
the regexp being used does *not* match the output from pod2man.  It should be
easy to fix, and if you'd rather me send a patch, I can craft one.  Perhaps
someone who knows pod2man better would be better to do that.
