            Bug ID: 245324
           Summary: games/cowsay puts STAGEDIR in manpage
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: lifanov@freebsd.org

I have built games/cowsay in my own poudriere. In the manpage, it says:

```
FILES
       /wrkdirs/usr/ports/games/cowsay/work/stage/usr/local/share/cows hold=
s a
       sample set of cowfiles.  If your COWPATH is not explicitly set, it
       automatically contains this directory.
```

Notice that the stagedir from building has leaked into the manpage. And if I
build the port as a user in /tmp/port, and look at the staged manpage at
/tmp/port/work/stage/usr/local/man/man1/cowsay.1.gz, then I see this:

```
.SH FILES
.B /tmp/port/work/stage/usr/local/share/cows
holds a sample set of cowfiles.  If your
.B COWPATH
```

.. and while the script explicitly handles a "normal" (or maybe "old-fashio=
ned,
before staging was a thing") prefix, it substitutes a full prefix (with
staging, it seems) in to the intermediate perl scripts -- and onwards into =
the
manpages:

```
echo s,%PREFIX%,$PREFIX,\; >> install.pl
```
