[Pkg-kaffe-maintainers] Bug#302782: kaffe: javakey man page missing and dangling symlink

[Shyamal Prasad]

Package: kaffe
Version: 2:1.1.4.PRECVS12-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

The man page for javakey does not exist in the package but I am left
with a dangling symlink for it. 

This might be related to #291510 - unfortunately I don't use Java much
anymore but I'd be happy to help anyway I can. My daily cron job is
what clued me into the missing symlink after yesterdays apt-get
update.


shyamal@rattler:~$ man javakey
man: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/javakey.1.gz is a dangling symlink
No manual entry for javakey
shyamal@rattler:~$ dlocate javakey
kaffe: /usr/lib/kaffe/bin/javakey
shyamal@rattler:~$ ls -l /usr/share/man/man1/javakey.1.gz 
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 30 Apr  1 19:07 /usr/share/man/man1/javakey.1.gz -> /etc/alternatives/javakey.1.gz
shyamal@rattler:~$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/javakey.1.gz   
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 38 Apr  1 19:07 /etc/alternatives/javakey.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/javakey.kaffe.1.gz
shyamal@rattler:~$ ls -l /usr/share/man/man1/javakey*     
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 30 Apr  1 19:07 /usr/share/man/man1/javakey.1.gz -> /etc/alternatives/javakey.1.gz
shyamal@rattler:~$ /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display javakey
javakey - status is auto.
 link currently points to /usr/lib/kaffe/bin/javakey
No versions available.

Did the man page go missing? I can write man pages and would volunteer
to if I can find some other documentation to go on.

Cheers!
Shyamal
