Package: mingw32
Version: 3.4.5.20060117.1.dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Every day cron sends a report about dangling symlinks in mingw32 (only
since updgrade from previous version, FWIW):
/usr/share/man/man1/
    i586-mingw32msvc-c++.1.gz -> i586-mingw32msvc-g++.1.gz
    i586-mingw32msvc-cc.1.gz -> i586-mingw32msvc-gcc.1.gz
    i586-mingw32msvc-cpp.1.gz -> cpp.1.gz
    i586-mingw32msvc-gcc-3.4.5.1.gz -> i586-mingw32msvc-gcc.1.gz
    i586-mingw32msvc-gcov.1.gz -> gcov.1.gz

gcov is not installed on my system, so it should not make the link.
cpp is installed (4.1) but apparently misses a man page !
3 others are intra-package dangling links, so should be corrected.

More generally, the package should provide its own copy of man pages,
because when you link to "cpp" or "gcov" you don't know which version you
get (several are provided in testing), and bets are you won't get the one
that matches mingw32's.
