man pages: dangling symlinks?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi just out of curiousity I apt-get installed man to see man pages for
the mplayer or other program

the instalation threw a lot of:

Updating index cache for path `/opt/man/fr/man1'. Wait...mandb:
warning: /opt/man/fr/man1/ex.1.gz is a dangling symlink
mandb: warning: /opt/man/fr/man1/fakeroot.1.gz is a dangling symlink
mandb: warning: /opt/man/fr/man1/vi.1.gz is a dangling symlink
mandb: warning: /opt/man/fr/man1/view.1.gz is a dangling symlink
mandb: warning: /opt/man/fr/man1/faked.1.gz is a dangling symlink


3 questions:

1) what are dangling symlinks?

2) are they bad?

3) should I correct my installation due to these messages?

thanks
f(t)
