Recently, I notice messages like this when doing profile operations:
[...]
creating manual page database for 49 packages...
find-files: /gnu/store/0y3qrzzwfxf601g885967wcringvnw 69-gimp-2.8.18/share/man/man1/ gimp-console.1: No such file or directory
[...]
The file in question is a symlink:
$ ls -l /gnu/store/0y3qrzzwfxf601g885967wcringvnw 69-gimp-2.8.18/share/man/man1/ gimp-console.1
lrwxrwxrwx 5 root root 21 Dec 31 1969 /gnu/store/0y3qrzzwfxf601g885967wcringvnw 69-gimp-2.8.18/share/man/man1/ gimp-console.1 -> gimp-console-2.8.1.gz
