hi colin, thanks for the response. i guess the question should probably be, how do dangling symlinks come to occur in the first place? for example: me@mybox:$ man gconftool man: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/gconftool.1.gz is a dangling symlink No manual entry for gconftool should I construe from this that there never was a man page for gconftool, or is it the case that it simply failed to install? in the event that there is a man page for each of the many various apps that return this message on man requests, what's the best way to fix this? am i making sense here? ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
