findutils +with_default_names creates broken man page symlinks

[jdswinbank (John Swinbank)]

This seems to be the same problem as #15864 but affecting findutils, rather than coreutils.

$ ls -l /opt/local/man/man1/find.1 
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 33 2008-12-24 18:06 /opt/local/man/man1/find.1 -> /opt/local/share/man/man1/gfind.1
$ ls -l /opt/local/man/man1/gfind.1*
-r--r--r-- 2 root admin 19339 2008-10-30 12:18 /opt/local/man/man1/gfind.1.gz

I don't see the same issue with the current coreutils port.

The underlying cause is explained in #18302. You can fix this for findutils by having it make relative manpage symlinks instead of absolute ones.

I'm not diffutils maintainer.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

This ticket is not for diffutils but for findutils, of which you are the maintainer. But since it's openmaintainer I fixed it in r48802, similar to how you fixed coreutils in r46259.
