Bug#851700: Dangling symlinks in /usr/share/man (missing .gz extension)

[James Clarke]

Package: libedit-dev
Version: 3.1-20160903-2
Severity: important

There are currently a lot of dangling symlinks in /usr/share/man:

/usr/share/man/man3/el_deletestr.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_end.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_get.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_getc.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_gets.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_init.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_init_fd.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_insertstr.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_line.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_parse.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_push.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_reset.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_resize.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_set.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_source.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_wdeletestr.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_wget.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_wgetc.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_wgets.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_winsertstr.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_wline.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_wparse.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_wpush.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/el_wset.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/history.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/history_end.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/history_init.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/history_w.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/history_wend.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/history_winit.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/tok_end.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/tok_init.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/tok_line.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/tok_reset.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/tok_str.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/tok_wend.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/tok_winit.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/tok_wline.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/tok_wreset.3 -> editline.3edit
/usr/share/man/man3/tok_wstr.3 -> editline.3edit

It seems that editline.3edit is now gzipped and thus called
editline.3edit.gz. Please add .gz to the symlink name and target for all
of these.
