Public bug reported:

I run Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS and the value of `LANG` is `en_US.UTF-8`.

After quitting the `man upstart` page I see the following message in terminal:
```
man: can't open /usr/share/man/man8/init.8: No such file or directory
```
And `locate init.8` confirms that there is no such file.

The `apt-file find init.8` command shows that `init.8.gz` is present in
`manpages-es-extra`, `manpages-hu` and similar packages for other
languages (but not for English).

This is the output of `gunzip -c /usr/share/man/man7/upstart.7.gz`:
```
.so man8/init.8
```
(So, it looks like this is an incorrect redirection.)

I believe, `upstart.7.gz` should be fixed.
