Description Klaus Kusche 2012-08-31 11:56:30 UTC 
Emerging gimp creates a symlink:
/usr/share/man/man1/gimp-console.1 -> gimp-console-2.8.1

However, the link target does not exist, because it has .bz2 added:
/usr/share/man/man1/gimp-console-2.8.1.bz2 -> gimp-2.8.1.bz2
Comment 1 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-09-03 18:07:10 UTC 
How about version 2.8.2?
Comment 2 Sebastian Pipping gentoo-dev 2012-09-03 18:33:32 UTC 
Looks like Gentoo's man page compression is at fault:

# ls -al /usr/share/man/man1/gimp-console*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Aug 24 21:05 /usr/share/man/man1/gimp-console-2.8.1.bz2 -> gimp-2.8.1.bz2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Aug 24 21:05 /usr/share/man/man1/gimp-console.1 -> gimp-console-2.8.1
Comment 3 Sebastian Pipping gentoo-dev 2012-09-03 18:42:04 UTC 
Actually, 2.8.1 never was in Gentoo, just 2.8.2.  However, configure.ac wrongly says 2.8.1 at one place.  I'm at it.
Comment 4 Sebastian Pipping gentoo-dev 2012-09-03 22:27:14 UTC 
Thanks for reporting.  Should be fixed.  This is the new end result:

# ls -al /usr/share/man/man1/gimp-console*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Sep  3 23:51 /usr/share/man/man1/gimp-console.1.bz2 -> gimp-2.8.1.bz2
