usually that is not a fatal error, does the installation abort due
to that?? I have seen such messages and it never caused any trouble.
Since it's just a manpage I wouldn't be concerned unless theres a
specific reason you want the mbox manpage from the qmail package,
they are probably similar(maybe identical)
but if it causes the package to fail to install that would be curious
to say the least
