Erlang packages do not come with these manpages. In fact, erlang-mode
just contains a link /usr/lib/erlang/man -> /usr/share/man, so I guess
your script just tries to copy all manpages to the container. And it
breaks if it can't dereference a link.

I'm not sure I can do anything about it. But you're welcome to submit
bugs to the packages with these symlinks
(/usr/share/man/man3/LIST_EMPTY.3 is in manpages-dev for example).

Cheers!
