I've tried re-installing bash and no dice. I don't really use info pages so no biggy.... but it still shouldn't be happening Reproducible: Always

I certainly didn't add it by hand. which means portage or the tarball I installed from put it there... and it wasn't cleaned properly. good to know it isn't supposed to be there. cleaning it manually is easy.
portage: was there some danging symlink foo in the past, maybe with the change in compression type?
Yes. Re-emerging bash will get it fixed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 162451 ***
