THese are warning, not errors.  There are tons of errors and
questionable ROFF constructs in the sources of various man pages, for
better or worse.

A quick scan of this reveals 86 warnings:

  54 whatis parse for ... failed
  29 bad symlink or ROFF `.so' request
   3 is a dangling symlink

package maintainers?
