Recently, I notice messages like this when doing profile operations:

[...]
creating manual page database for 49 packages...
find-files: /gnu/store/0y3qrzzwfxf601g885967wcringvnw69-gimp-2.8.18/share/man/man1/gimp-console.1: No such file or directory
[...]

The file in question is a symlink:
$ ls -l /gnu/store/0y3qrzzwfxf601g885967wcringvnw69-gimp-2.8.18/share/man/man1/gimp-console.1
