Description:
The manpage pipewire.conf.5.gz is installed in the wrong man section (man1),
therefore ignored by mandb while indexing with the message:

"Updating index cache for path `/usr/share/man/man1'.
Wait...mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/pipewire.conf.5.gz: ignoring bogus filename"

pipewire.conf.5.gz should be installed to /usr/share/man/man5.



Steps to reproduce:
Manually run mandb and look for stderr messages, while the index for the manpages is created.
Afterwards use apropos or the short equivalent 'man -k pipewire'.
If it's installed to the right man section it lists "pipewire.conf (5)".
This task depends upon
