Why would you mark the bug incomplete? I provided the error, the
directory, and the output - the rest would be for the fix.
>From man maddb:
<filename>: ignoring bogus filename
The <filename> may or may not be a valid manual page but its
name is invalid. This is usually due to a manual page with sectional extension
<x> being put in manual page section <y>.
If you compare the other file names in the directory, I suspect the issue it is
complaining about is ending with .5.gz vs no number, or .1 for being in a man1
directory. To test that theory (didn't know I had to do that part to submit a
bug :) ):
# ln -s evolution.1.gz evolution-2.25.5.1.gz
# ls -l evo*

Does /not/ complain about evolution-2.25.5.1.gz - so it looks like the last
digit in the symlink is what makes it invalid for mandb.
