[Bug 1289071] [NEW] Man page is not installed correctly

[Edwin Pujols]

Public bug reported:

After installing zsh-doc, If I type `man zsh5` I get:

    man: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/zsh5.1.gz is a dangling symlink

Meanwhile, `man zsh` simply tells me that the manual page does not exist
(and certainly it's not installed).

BTW, I know I can use `info zsh` and look at /usr/shade/doc/zsh.
