Description ta2002 2007-07-17 02:35:04 UTC

OK, one more time on this theme (sorry Jakub).

Yes, reinstalling sys-apps/util-linux did take care of bug 185378, but I still have one more problem with broken symlinks.

app-text/ghostscript-esp-8.15.3 creates these symlinks:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  10 2007-07-16 13:35:02 /usr/share/man/de/man1/gsbj.1.bz2 -> gslp.1.bz2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  10 2007-07-16 13:35:02 /usr/share/man/de/man1/gsdj.1.bz2 -> gslp.1.bz2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  10 2007-07-16 13:35:02 /usr/share/man/de/man1/gsdj500.1.bz2 -> gslp.1.bz2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  10 2007-07-16 13:35:02 /usr/share/man/de/man1/gslj.1.bz2 -> gslp.1.bz2

and gslp.1.bz does not exist in that directory - it seems to only exist in the main (English) directory.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   10 2007-07-16 13:35:01 /usr/share/man/man1/gsbj.1.bz2 -> gslp.1.bz2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   10 2007-07-16 13:35:01 /usr/share/man/man1/gsdj.1.bz2 -> gslp.1.bz2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   10 2007-07-16 13:35:01 /usr/share/man/man1/gsdj500.1.bz2 -> gslp.1.bz2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   10 2007-07-16 13:35:01 /usr/share/man/man1/gslj.1.bz2 -> gslp.1.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1558 2007-07-16 13:35:00 /usr/share/man/man1/gslp.1.bz2

I do not have any flags set that ask for anything in the German language.

ghostscript-esp was removed from the tree, so this bug is WONTFIX. See bug  	261434 for more information.
