Public bug reported:

When trying to do a erlang release from within rebar I get:

[...]
==> rel (generate)
ERROR: Unable to generate spec: read file info 
/usr/lib/erlang/man/man1/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcov-tool.1.gz failed
ERROR: Unexpected error: rebar_abort
ERROR: generate failed while processing /home/ubuntu/MongooseIM-2.0.0beta1/rel: 
rebar_abort

This is due to a broken link from

$ ls -l /usr/lib/erlang/man/man1/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcov-tool.1.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Feb 11 09:47 
/usr/lib/erlang/man/man1/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcov-tool.1.gz -> gcov-tool-5.1.gz

$ ls -l /usr/lib/erlang/man/man1/gcov-tool-5.1.gz
ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/erlang/man/man1/gcov-tool-5.1.gz': No such file or 
directory

Temporary solution:

$ sudo touch /usr/lib/erlang/man/man1/gcov-tool-5.1.gz


System:

# lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release:        16.04

# apt-cache policy erlang
erlang:
  Installed: 1:18.3-dfsg-1ubuntu3
  Candidate: 1:18.3-dfsg-1ubuntu3
  Version table:
 *** 1:18.3-dfsg-1ubuntu3 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Apparently the file missing is supposedly to be created by erlang-mode

# apt-cache policy erlang-mode
erlang-mode:
  Installed: 1:18.3-dfsg-1ubuntu3
  Candidate: 1:18.3-dfsg-1ubuntu3
  Version table:
 *** 1:18.3-dfsg-1ubuntu3 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
