Hi all,
There seems to be a packaging error in autoconf (autoconf2.5-2.68-1
according to cygcheck -f /usr/share/man/man1/autoconf-2.68.1.gz).
The shorter names for the man pages point to non-existent files:

The symlinks don't appear in the output of cygcheck -l autoconf2.5; I
suspect the post-install script.
