"wrong" is a matter of opinion :) Have you looked at  FS#6822  and  FS#25421 ?

@Toolybird Thanks for the links!

@Thaodan Thanks for reporting.

These Erlang man pages filenames would collide with these man pages on my system:

/usr/share/man/man3/io.3.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/zlib.3.gz

Please report this upstream and ask the Erlang developers to change their man page filenames to something that does not collide with (at least) zlib and libaio
