I'm affected by a bug that seems to affect only some Gentoo users. 
dev-libs/openssl seems to install broken symlinks for some of its man 
pages.  You can check with:

   find /usr/share/man/ -type l ! -exec test -r {} \; -print

If you are affected by this bug, then the above will print something 
like this:

   /usr/share/man/man1/openssl-sha.1ssl
   /usr/share/man/man1/openssl-ripemd160.1ssl
   /usr/share/man/man1/openssl-md5.1ssl
   /usr/share/man/man1/openssl-sha1.1ssl
   /usr/share/man/man1/openssl-md4.1ssl
   /usr/share/man/man1/openssl-md2.1ssl
   /usr/share/man/man1/openssl-mdc2.1ssl
   /usr/share/man/man3/openssl-SSL.3ssl

Anyone else here getting this?  There's a bug open for this:

I got this:

root@fireball / # find /usr/share/man/ -type l ! -exec test -r {} \; -print
/usr/share/man/man3/openssl-SSL.3ssl
/usr/share/man/man1/gimp-console.1
/usr/share/man/man1/openssl-mdc2.1ssl
/usr/share/man/man1/openssl-md2.1ssl
/usr/share/man/man1/openssl-md4.1ssl
/usr/share/man/man1/openssl-sha1.1ssl
/usr/share/man/man1/openssl-md5.1ssl
/usr/share/man/man1/openssl-sha.1ssl
/usr/share/man/man1/openssl-ripemd160.1ssl
root@fireball / #

Small differences but pretty close.  What is broke on my system?  Link
to bug too.  I'd like to CC that.

I found it.  For once the search feature actually worked for me. 

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=437000

I posted a +1 on there too.

In the other bug (linked to from this one), it was suggested that 
rebuilding app-shells/bash should fix it.  But it doesn't here.  The guy 
said that he had to "emerge -e world" to fix this :-/  So that means 
some package is broken right now due to some upgrade, but no one knows 
what that package is.

Ah well, rolling release *has* to have at least some drawbacks, I guess. 
  This is one of them.

I guess.  I wonder how to find out which package it is that broke this? 
If it matters, the man pages for those doesn't work.  Good thing I don't
use openssl* stuff.  I guess one could google the man page tho. 

Maybe this will get figured out and someone will learn how to not cause
this again in the future.

This is an incredibly inefficient way of testing for broken symlinks, it
takes about 100 times as long to run (over ten seconds on my netbook) than

find -L /usr/share/man/ -type l

What about
app-misc/symlinks ?

Helmut.

That's good for finding them too, and particularly good at cleaning them
up.
