Public bug reported:

I'm not sure which package is responsible for this, but after I did a
dist-upgrade from Dapper to Edgy, I received (started receiving, I
expect) the following from cron.daily:

/etc/cron.daily/man-db:
mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/c++.1.gz is a dangling symlink

The symlink points to /etc/alternatives/c++.1.gz which in turn points to
/usr/share/man/man1/g++.1.gz which doesn't exist. I can't find it with
apt-file either.

On this system, the following possible culprits are installed:

gcc-4.1: /usr/share/man/man1/gcc-4.1.1.gz
gcc-4.0: /usr/share/man/man1/gcc-4.0.1.gz
gcc: /usr/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz

I don't have a gpp or g++ installed (to my mild surprise; I thought I
had installed build-essential, but maybe it was removed in some upgrade;
maybe this recent dist-upgrade did that to resolve some conflict? And
according to my logs I even installed g++ explicitly at some point in
order to build something. Hmm ...)
