Hi Alex,

Looks like the tarball pages are missing the version preceding release -1!

Hmmmm!  I can reproduce that.  I'll check why this is happening.

	alx@devuan:~/Downloads/man$ ls
	alx@devuan:~/Downloads/man$ wget https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/man-pages-6.11.tar.gz >/dev/null 2>&1; echo $?
	0
	alx@devuan:~/Downloads/man$ tar xf man-pages-6.11.tar.gz 
	alx@devuan:~/Downloads/man$ rm man-pages-6.11.tar.gz 
	alx@devuan:~/Downloads/man$ cd man-pages-6.11/
	alx@devuan:~/Downloads/man/man-pages-6.11$ man ./man2/membarrier.2 | tail -n1
	Linux man‐pages (unreleased)       2024‐07‐23                     membarrier(2)
	alx@devuan:~/Downloads/man/man-pages-6.11$ make -R -j24 install DESTDIR=i 2>/dev/null | wc -l
	5740
	alx@devuan:~/Downloads/man/man-pages-6.11$ man ./i/usr/local/share/man/man2/membarrier.2 | tail -n1
	Linux man‐pages                    2024‐07‐23                     membarrier(2)

There are some error messages in the make(1) call, so it might be
related to that.

I should also make sure that there are tests for this in the build
system, but due to a bug in the packaging of the tools I use in my
distro, I can't at the moment.  For now, I'll try to just fix the bug.

Thanks for the report!


Have a lovely day!
Alex
