Hi Paul -

This sounds like a very old bug I experienced years ago where
dwww-convert didn't know about gzipped files. Is there anything to this
effect in your /etc/dwww/dwww.conf? Is dwww-index++ being run periodically?

You might be hitting permission problems between the new symlinked man
page directories and where apache2 and dwww is allowed to look.

cheers,
 Stewart
