Package: pvm-dev
Version: 3.4.2-16
Severity: important

The pvm_dev package has some problems with man pages.  I am getting
numerous errors such as the following from the mandb cron job:

  mandb: can't open /usr/share/man/man3/pvm_kill.3: No such file or directory
  mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man3/pvmfkill.3.gz: bad symlink or ROFF `.so' 
request

pvmfkill.3.gz does indeed reference pvm_kill.3.  However, the package
chose to name the latter pvm_kill.3PVM and hence mandb cannot find the
reference to pvm_kill.3.  A bunch of the pvm_* pages have the .3
extension while another group has .3PVM.
