I can reproduce the problem, but I can not reproduce the environment.
I tried.
All I can see is that when the profile gets updated the new path
$profile/share/man/man1/python.1
is a symlink pointing to nothing. You can see that when installing
python-2.7.13.
All I can tell is that the version that was installed (2.7.11).
actually pointed to something. When overwriting the old version,
strangely, the man pages generator balks.
Strangely because installing in a fresh profile gives no complaints.
The old package path was
/gnu/store/vcx1n5nj4gr52xx5m6gvi7zrwngy06s3-python-2.7.11/share/man/man1/python.1
