For some classes/modules, ri shows the same description twice. e.g.:

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.2dev (2010-04-03 trunk 27196) [i686-linux]
$ ri RDoc
= RDoc

(from ruby core)

= RDoc - Ruby Documentation System

This package contains RDoc and ...
... document continues ...
merchantibility and fitness for a particular purpose.
= RDoc - Ruby Documentation System # I've already seen this!

This package contains RDoc and ...

The classes with this problem: Array, Hash, Time...
It seems like this only happens for the core classes, since I haven't found
any of the gem-installed classes suffering from this.

Hi,

Sorry for late response, but I cannot reproduce.

Rdoc has changed a lot since the begin of April.
Could you delete old installation and try trunk again?

Eric, if you know anything about this issue, please answer to OP.

Hello,

It seems to be fixed for most of the classes.
Though Integer is still showing this symptom...
I removed files/directories under
/usr/local/bin/
/usr/local/share/ri/1.9.1/system
/.ext
~/.ri
~/.ri1.9.1
before 'make && sudo make install'.

% ruby -v
ruby 1.9.3dev (2010-05-13 trunk 27788) [i686-linux]
% ri -v
ri 2.5
% ri --no-pager Integer
Integer < Numeric

Integer is the basis for the two concrete classes that hold whole
numbers, Bignum and Fixnum.

Thank you! Confirmed.

Eric, how about this patch?

Your patch will disable a feature of RDoc which allows comments from multiple classes to be combined into one.

I like this patch better, may I commit it?
