freebsd stable - Feb 2004 - makewhatis wierdness in 4.9-stable

Hello -stable:

Since makewhatis went from Perl to C I get the following output
in the weekly periodic/maintenance run:

Rebuilding whatis database:
makewhatis: /usr/local/man/man1/scp.old.1: No such file or directory
makewhatis: /usr/local/man/man1/ssh-add.old.1: No such file or directory
makewhatis: /usr/local/man/man1/ssh-agent.old.1: No such file or directory
makewhatis: /usr/local/man/man1/ssh-keygen.old.1: No such file or directory
makewhatis: /usr/local/man/man1/ssh.old.1: No such file or directory

Is something "strange" in /etc/*?  Maybe something mergemaster
didn't quite fix during a cvsup/{make,install}world?

Thanks,

-kc

I suppose these are stale symlinks. What do you get by issuing

ls -l /usr/local/man/man1/*.old.1

?

Hmmm...  Any idea how this has happened?  I've tracked
-stable since early 4.x times.
