vim-common: missing alternatives for man pages causes hash mismatch

[jrvieira]

Description

xbps-pkgdb -a reports a hash mismatch for vim-common:

ERROR: vim-common: hash mismatch for /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1.
ERROR: vim-common: files check FAILED.

Cause

vim-common does not register its man pages (e.g. vim.1) in xbps-alternatives. When neovim is installed and registered as an alternative to vi/vim, it replaces /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1 with its own version. Since vim-common owns that file in the package database but the file on disk now belongs to neovim, XBPS detects a hash mismatch.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install vim-common and neovim
2. Run xbps-alternatives -l — neovim is listed as an alternative to vim
3. Run xbps-pkgdb -a — hash mismatch reported for vim-common

Expected behavior

vim-common should register its man pages via xbps-alternatives so that when another package takes over those files through the alternatives system, no hash mismatch is reported.

Environment

• xbps-query -p pkgver vim-common: vim-common-9.2.0280_1
• xbps-query -p pkgver neovim: neovim-0.12.2_1
