Lately, I've been getting a whole bunch of these warnings from man.
These warnings have popped in and out over the past year or two
of keeping up-to-date with Debian, and appear on EVERY hamm machine
I have:

Updating index cache for path `/usr/man'. Wait...done.
No manual entry for openproc

Stuff like this.

For instance, /usr/man/man1/smath.1.gz points to
/etc/alternatives/smath.1.gz, which points to
/usr/man/man1/math3.1.gz, which does not exist.

Should all these be reported as bugs?
