"Cron Daemon" telling me from time to time:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/etc/cron.daily/man-db:
mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man7/mdoc.samples.7.gz is a dangling symlink
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

links were pointing to each other:
/etc/alternatives/tixindex.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/tixindex.1.gz
