Oh, I understand.
I had only tested to remove localgroups.5 and docheckgroups.8 and seen
they were correctly recreated after an update, in the right directory
but indeed, it appears they were dangling links:

    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2008-05-24 20:56 /home/news/share/man/man5/localgroups.5 -> docheckgroups.8

% man localgroups
man: attention: /home/news/share/man/man5/localgroups.5 est un lien symbolique flottant
man: attention: /home/news/share/man/man5/localgroups.5 est un lien symbolique flottant
Aucune entrée de manuel pour localgroups


It is now fixed, sorry.
