Bug#2798: mandb doesn't like man pages from mailagent



Package: mailagent
Version: 3.44-3

The first line of maildist.1, mailpatch.1, and maillist.1 read:

     .so /usr/man/man1/mailhelp.1

That generates an error in (man 2.3.10-11) which is:

mandb: warning: /usr/man/man1/maildist.1: whatis parse for maildist(1) failed
mandb: warning: /usr/man/man1/maillist.1: whatis parse for maillist(1) failed
mandb: warning: /usr/man/man1/mailpatch.1: whatis parse for mailpatch(1) failed

This can be corrected by replacing the first line with:

     .so man1/mailhelp.1
