attr: Fix build failure when image includes man-pages pkg
If you attempt to build an image with both attr(-doc) and man-pages packages your rootfs might fail to assemble. The error will be something like: Error: Transaction check error: file /usr/share/man/man2/fgetxattr.2 from install of \ attr-doc-2.4.47-r0.core2_64 conflicts with file from \ package man-pages-4.11-r0.core2_64 (the error is usually only seen on builders which don't have manpages installed, if you have /usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz your build will complete but you will have duplicate manpages, just one zipped and one not) Backporting changes from upstream attr removes the conflicted files in favour of those in the man-pages package.

110-.TH ATTR 5
111-.SH NAME
112-attr - Extended attributes
113-.SH DESCRIPTION
114-Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated permanently with
115-files and directories, similar to the environment strings associated
116-with a process.
117-An attribute may be defined or undefined.
118-If it is defined, its value may be empty or non-empty.
119-.PP
120-Extended attributes are extensions to the normal attributes which are
121-associated with all inodes in the system (i.e. the
122-.BR stat (2)
123-data).
124-They are often used to provide additional functionality
125-to a filesystem \- for example, additional security features such as
126-Access Control Lists (ACLs) may be implemented using extended attributes.
127-.PP
128-Users with search access to a file or directory may retrieve a list of
129-attribute names defined for that file or directory.
130-.PP
131-Extended attributes are accessed as atomic objects.
132-Reading retrieves the whole value of an attribute and stores it in a buffer.
133-Writing replaces any previous value with the new value.
134-.PP
135-Space consumed for extended attributes is counted towards the disk quotas
136-of the file owner and file group.
137-.PP
138-Currently, support for extended attributes is implemented on Linux by the
139-ext2, ext3, ext4, XFS, JFS and reiserfs filesystems.
140-.SH EXTENDED ATTRIBUTE NAMESPACES
141-Attribute names are zero-terminated strings.
142-The attribute name is always specified in the fully qualified
143-.IR namespace.attribute
144-form, eg.
145-.IR user.mime_type ,
146-.IR trusted.md5sum ,
147-.IR system.posix_acl_access ,
148-or
149-.IR security.selinux .
150-.PP
151-The namespace mechanism is used to define different classes of extended
152-attributes.
153-These different classes exist for several reasons, e.g. the permissions
154-and capabilities required for manipulating extended attributes of one
155-namespace may differ to another.
156-.PP
157-Currently the
158-.IR security ,
159-.IR system ,
160-.IR trusted ,
161-and
162-.IR user
163-extended attribute classes are defined as described below. Additional
164-classes may be added in the future.
165-.SS Extended security attributes
166-The security attribute namespace is used by kernel security modules,
167-such as Security Enhanced Linux.
168-Read and write access permissions to security attributes depend on the
169-policy implemented for each security attribute by the security module.
170-When no security module is loaded, all processes have read access to
171-extended security attributes, and write access is limited to processes
172-that have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability.
173-.SS Extended system attributes
174-Extended system attributes are used by the kernel to store system
175-objects such as Access Control Lists and Capabilities. Read and write
176-access permissions to system attributes depend on the policy implemented
177-for each system attribute implemented by filesystems in the kernel.
178-.SS Trusted extended attributes
179-Trusted extended attributes are visible and accessible only to processes that
180-have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (the super user usually has this
181-capability).
182-Attributes in this class are used to implement mechanisms in user
183-space (i.e., outside the kernel) which keep information in extended attributes
184-to which ordinary processes should not have access.
185-.SS Extended user attributes
186-Extended user attributes may be assigned to files and directories for
187-storing arbitrary additional information such as the mime type,
188-character set or encoding of a file. The access permissions for user
189-attributes are defined by the file permission bits.
190-.PP
191-The file permission bits of regular files and directories are
192-interpreted differently from the file permission bits of special files
193-and symbolic links. For regular files and directories the file
194-permission bits define access to the file's contents, while for device special
195-files they define access to the device described by the special file.
196-The file permissions of symbolic links are not used in access
197-checks. These differences would allow users to consume filesystem resources in
198-a way not controllable by disk quotas for group or world writable special files and directories.
199-.PP
200-For this reason, extended user attributes are only allowed for regular files and directories, and access to extended user attributes is restricted to the
201-owner and to users with appropriate capabilities for directories with the
202-sticky bit set (see the
203-.BR chmod (1)
204-manual page for an explanation of Sticky Directories).
205-.SH FILESYSTEM DIFFERENCES
206-The kernel and the filesystem may place limits on the maximum number
207-and size of extended attributes that can be associated with a file.
208-Some file systems, such as ext2/3 and reiserfs, require the filesystem
209-to be mounted with the
210-.B user_xattr
211-mount option in order for extended user attributes to be used.
212-.PP
213-In the current ext2, ext3 and ext4 filesystem implementations, each
214-extended attribute must fit on a single filesystem block (1024, 2048
215-or 4096 bytes, depending on the block size specified when the
216-filesystem was created).
217-.PP
218-In the XFS and reiserfs filesystem implementations, there is no
219-practical limit on the number or size of extended attributes
220-associated with a file, and the algorithms used to store extended
221-attribute information on disk are scalable.
222-.PP
223-In the JFS filesystem implementation, names can be up to 255 bytes and
224-values up to 65,535 bytes.
225-.SH ADDITIONAL NOTES
226-Since the filesystems on which extended attributes are stored might also
227-be used on architectures with a different byte order and machine word
228-size, care should be taken to store attribute values in an architecture
229-independent format.

9The section 2 man pages have long since been added to the man-pages package
10which documents all system calls; they were disabled in attr by default since
11January 2014. Get rid of them here.

133-.SH DESCRIPTION
134-Extended attributes are
135-.IR name :\c
136-.I value
137-pairs associated with inodes (files, directories, symlinks, etc).
138-They are extensions to the normal attributes which are associated
139-with all inodes in the system (i.e. the
140-.BR stat (2)
141-data).
142-A complete overview of extended attributes concepts can be found in
143-.BR attr (5).
144-.PP
145-.B getxattr
146-retrieves the
147-.I value
148-of the extended attribute identified by
149-.I name
150-and associated with the given
151-.I path
152-in the filesystem.
153-The length of the attribute
154-.I value
155-is returned.
156-.PP
157-.B lgetxattr
158-is identical to
159-.BR getxattr ,
160-except in the case of a symbolic link, where the link itself is
161-interrogated, not the file that it refers to.
162-.PP
163-.B fgetxattr
164-is identical to
165-.BR getxattr ,
166-only the open file pointed to by
167-.I filedes
168-(as returned by
169-.BR open (2))
170-is interrogated in place of
171-.IR path .
172-.PP
173-An extended attribute
174-.I name
175-is a simple NULL-terminated string.
176-The name includes a namespace prefix \- there may be several, disjoint
177-namespaces associated with an individual inode.
178-The value of an extended attribute is a chunk of arbitrary textual or
179-binary data of specified length.
180-.PP
181-An empty buffer of
182-.I size
183-zero can be passed into these calls to return the current size of the
184-named extended attribute, which can be used to estimate the size of a
185-buffer which is sufficiently large to hold the value associated with
186-the extended attribute.
187-.PP
188-The interface is designed to allow guessing of initial buffer
189-sizes, and to enlarge buffers when the return value indicates
190-that the buffer provided was too small.
191-.SH RETURN VALUE
192-On success, a positive number is returned indicating the size of the
193-extended attribute value.
194-On failure, \-1 is returned and
195-.I errno
196-is set appropriately.
197-.PP
198-If the named attribute does not exist, or the process has no access to

265-.TH LISTXATTR 2 "Extended Attributes" "Dec 2001" "System calls"
266-.SH NAME
267-listxattr, llistxattr, flistxattr \- list extended attribute names
268-.SH SYNOPSIS
269-.fam C
270-.nf
271-.B #include <sys/types.h>
272-.B #include <attr/xattr.h>

282-.SH DESCRIPTION
283-Extended attributes are name:value
284-pairs associated with inodes (files, directories, symlinks, etc).
285-They are extensions to the normal attributes which are associated
286-with all inodes in the system (i.e. the
287-.BR stat (2)
288-data).
289-A complete overview of extended attributes concepts can be found in
290-.BR attr (5).
291-.PP
292-.B listxattr
293-retrieves the
294-.I list
295-of extended attribute names associated with the given
296-.I path
297-in the filesystem.
298-The list is the set of (NULL-terminated) names, one after the other.
299-Names of extended attributes to which the calling process does not
300-have access may be omitted from the list.
301-The length of the attribute name
302-.I list
303-is returned.
304-.PP
305-.B llistxattr
306-is identical to
307-.BR listxattr ,
308-except in the case of a symbolic link, where the list of names of
309-extended attributes associated with the link itself is retrieved,
310-not the file that it refers to.
311-.I list
312-is a caller-allocated buffer of size
313-.IR size .
314-.PP
315-.B flistxattr
316-is identical to
317-.BR listxattr ,
318-only the open file pointed to by
319-.I filedes
320-(as returned by
321-.BR open (2))
322-is interrogated in place of
323-.IR path .
324-.PP
325-A single extended attribute
326-.I name
327-is a simple NULL-terminated string.
328-The name includes a namespace prefix \- there may be several, disjoint
329-namespaces associated with an individual inode.
330-.PP
331-An empty buffer of
332-.I size
333-zero can be passed into these calls to return the current size of the
334-list of extended attribute names, which can be used to estimate the
335-size of a buffer which is sufficiently large to hold the list of names.
336-.SH EXAMPLES
337-The
338-.I list
339-of names is returned as an unordered array of NULL-terminated character
340-strings (attribute names are separated by NULL characters), like this:
341-.fam C
342-.RS
343-.nf
344-user.name1\\0system.name1\\0user.name2\\0
345-.fi
346-.RE
347-.fam T
348-.P
349-Filesystems like ext2, ext3 and XFS which implement POSIX ACLs using
350-extended attributes, might return a
351-.I list
352-like this:
353-.fam C
354-.RS
355-.nf
356-system.posix_acl_access\\0system.posix_acl_default\\0
357-.fi
358-.RE
359-.fam T
360-.SH RETURN VALUE
361-On success, a positive number is returned indicating the size of the
362-extended attribute name list.
363-On failure, \-1 is returned and
364-.I errno
365-is set appropriately.
366-.PP
367-If the
368-.I size
369-of the
370-.I list
371-buffer is too small to hold the result,
372-.I errno
373-is set to ERANGE.
374-.PP
375-If extended attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are disabled,
376-.I errno
377-is set to ENOTSUP.
378-.PP
379-The errors documented for the
380-.BR stat (2)
381-system call are also applicable here.
