Or the following steps, which will remove the offending manpage, back up
the current copy of the package, and install a modified one.
I'm still newish at modifying packages, if anyone sees something wrong
here, speak up.
$ cd /tmp
$ cp /var/cache/apt/archives/manpages_1.46-1_all.deb .
$ mv manpages_1.46-1_all.deb manpages_1.46-1_all.deb-bak
$ mkdir manpages; cd manpages
$ ar -x /var/cache/apt/archives/manpages_1.46-1_all.deb
$ rm ./usr/share/man/man8/ld.so.8.gz
$ cd /tmp
$ dpkg-deb --build manpages_1.46-1 manpages
$ dpkg -i manpages_1.46-1 manpages_1.46-1.deb
Peace.
