>Description:

Not serious, but: /usr/src/ObsoleteFiles v1.112 contains

OLD_FILES+=usr/share/man/man5/cached.conf.5
OLD_FILES+=usr/share/man/man8/cached.8

When it should contain gzipped versions of those two
files.  My machine (Current 22 Sep 2007, awaiting reboot)
contains

   /usr/share/man/man5/cached.conf.5.gz
   /usr/share/man/man8/cached.8.gz

So running a "make delete-old" will not entirely remove files
associated with cached in favor of nscd.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Look in /usr/src/ObsoleteFiles, if you have v 1.112 (or
	later?).  Note that other manpages in ObsoleteFiles are
	listed as gzip'd.  Wish silently that all your problems
	were as complicated as this.
>Fix:
	Append ".gz" to the two cached manpage lines mentioned above.
	Consider running "rm /usr/share/man/man?/cached.*".
