dangling symlink?

Hi all,

English is not my native language. Does anyone know what 'dangling' means?
I get the following errors emailed via cron every day:

/etc/cron.daily/man-db:
mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man8/ipfwadm.8.gz is a dangling symlink
mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man8/fax500.8.gz is a dangling symlink

mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/ex.1.gz is a dangling symlink
mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/vi.1.gz is a dangling symlink

I shortened above list, it is quite a lot longer.

Any suggestions?

I am running up to date Sid with a lot of packages, including Plone,
Apache, Tomcat etc.
