dangling sym-links



After doing a mandb, I received warnings:

/usr/share/man/man1/rcp.1.gz is a dangling symlink
/usr/share/man/man1/rlogin.1.gz is a dangling symlink
/usr/share/man/man1/rsh.1.gz is a dangling symlink


ls -l /usr/share/man/man1/ yields

(...) rcp.1.gz -> /etc/alternatives/rcp.1.gz   et al

ls -l /etc/alternatives/  yields

(...) rcp.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/rcp.1.gz  et al

The executables are all linked to /usr/bin/ssh


This looks like a dog chasing its tail.  Are there any repercussions
should I delete these links.  Out of curiosity, how does this happen?

It is interesting to note that as one evil empire (generic) fell,
another Evil Empire (tm)  began its nefarious rise. -- me
Coincidence?  I think not.
