3rd and final (I hope),
the reason way only u2d man page has problem
mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/u2d.1.gz: bad symlink or ROFF `.so'
request
it is because it has a double redirection while
all the other pages have a single ".so" redirection
d2u.1.gz .so dos2unix.1
mac2unix.1.gz .so dos2unix.1
u2d.1.gz .so unix2dos.1
unix2dos.1.gz .so dos2unix.1
unix2mac.1.gz .so dos2unix.1
u2d.1.gz .so unix2dos.1
-> unix2dos.1.gz .so dos2unix.1
-> dos2unix.1.gz the_real_page
$ ls -l *unix*
-rw-r--r-- 1 marco None 7143 Aug 5 00:31 dos2unix.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 marco None 46 Aug 5 00:31 mac2unix.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 marco None 46 Aug 5 00:31 unix2dos.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 marco None 46 Aug 5 00:31 unix2mac.1.gz
So it is a limitation of man-db but the workaround is very simple
$ cp d2u.1.gz u2d.1.gz
Regards
Marco
