Subject: broken links on few man pages : xmon, mysql, bind-utils

Hi,
just as by product of looking why mc had a unusable man page,
and why u2d was making me crazy...

these are the other broken pages on my system, that look as
upstream bugs.

$ grep ROFF  mandb.log
mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/bind9-config.1.gz: bad symlink or 
ROFF `.so' request
mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/mysqltest_embedded.1.gz: bad symlink 
or ROFF `.so' request
mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/mysql_client_test_embedded.1.gz: bad 
symlink or ROFF `.so' request
mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/u2d.1.gz: bad symlink or ROFF `.so' 
request
mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/xmond.1.gz: bad symlink or ROFF 
`.so' request

$ cygcheck -f /usr/share/man/man1/bind9-config.1.gz
bind-utils-9.9.5-3

$ gzip -cd /usr/share/man/man1/bind9-config.1.gz
.so isc-config.sh.1

but there is no isc-config.sh.1 page in any cygwin package

$ cygcheck -f /usr/share/man/man1/mysqltest_embedded.1.gz
mysql-5.5.35-1

$ gzip -cd  /usr/share/man/man1/mysqltest_embedded.1.gz
.so man-gpl-tmp2/mysqltest.1
$ gzip -cd  /usr/share/man/man1/mysqltest_embedded.1.gz
.so man-gpl-tmp2/mysqltest.1

but the file is located on /usr/share/man/man1/mysqltest.1.gz

$ cygcheck -f /usr/share/man/man1/xmond.1.gz
xmon-1.5.6-3

$ gzip -cd  /usr/share/man/man1/xmond.1.gz
.so man1/xmonui.1x

so there is an extra "x"  as the page is
  /usr/share/man/man1/xmonui.1.gz


Regards
Marco
