This is actually a problem in emacs22-common: man picks up the emacsclient.1emacs22 manpage because it has a valid extension. Try "man -d emacsclient 2> tmp/man-debug" to see what man does. This is fixed in emacs23-common. > Please make it so that the emacs23 version effectively takes > precedence over the emacs22 version, that is when /usr/bin/emacsclient > points to /usr/bin/emacsclient.emacs23 . This would require changing the emacs22 package (and others who use that scheme, like emacs-snapshot). I don't know how feasible this is, given that emacs22 is slated for removal. In the meantime, you can read the emacs23 emacsclient manpage with "man emacsclient.emacs23".
