Hi,
After installing postfix, I started to receive the following message
generated by cron.daily:
/etc/cron.daily/man-db:
mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/rmic.1.gz is a dangling symlink
/usr/share/man/man1/rmic.1.gz is a symlink to
/etc/alternatives/rmic.1.gz. A further look into /etc/alternatives
reveal the following three dangling three symlinks altogether:
$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/rmic.1.gz /etc/alternatives/rmic
/etc/alternatives/netscape-javaplugin.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 2005-10-27 11:42
/etc/alternatives/netscape-javaplugin.so ->
/usr/lib/j2re1.5-sun/plugin/i386/ns4/libjavaplugin.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 2005-10-17 18:11 /etc/alternatives/rmic ->
/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/rmic
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 2005-10-17 18:11
/etc/alternatives/rmic.1.gz -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/man/man1/rmic.1.gz
Apparantly, netscape-javaplugin.so was created by sun-j2re1.5, because
it was created at exactly the same time as mozilla-javaplugin.so, which
belongs to the sun-j2re1.5.
Which package created rmic and rmic.1.gz?
