Bug Description
Dear People,
The nail man page is broken. Instead of seeing the man page in response to "man nail" I get an error saying there is a dangling symlink. Please see below.
The nail man page (/usr/share/
Thus one possible fix is:
rm -f /usr/share/
ln -s /usr/share/
Investigation:
prompt$
prompt$ lsb_release -rd

Release: 8.10

See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.

I can confirm that exact behavior. Since there seems to be enough information here, I will mark this bug as Triaged and let a developer take it from there. Thank you for reporting this bug.
