Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2013-04-23 00:07:28 UTC

The following warnings occur during installation:

 * QA Notice: Symbolic link /usr/share/man/man1/gview.1.gz points to /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1.gz which does not exist.
 * QA Notice: Symbolic link /usr/share/man/man1/gvim.1.gz points to /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1.gz which does not exist.
 * QA Notice: Symbolic link /usr/share/man/man1/gvimdiff.1.gz points to /usr/share/man/man1/vimdiff.1.gz which does not exist.

The solution is to replace symlinks with regular files containing '.so ${target_man_page}'. E.g. gview.1 (before potential compression made by package manager) should contain '.so vim.1'.
