Incorrect permissions on some man pages

See URL for discussion thread.

If fixed, notify upstream of course too and hopefully they'll do something with it.

The POSIX pthread programming man pages are supplied by the man-pages package in the `man3p' dir. NPTL almost exactly matches POSIX meaning these pages are the best reference for programmers (at least according to RH).

And if memory serves me correctly, those exact man pages were the main reason for installing the man pages from the Linuxthreads package.

Since man-pages installs them, too, are there any other man pages or resources that we're overlooking that would warrant keeping linuxthreads around?

I did a comparison and only these five man-pages are included in the linuxthreads package but missing in man-pages. Are they needed?

pthread_cleanup_pop_restore_np pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np pthread_kill_other_threads_np pthread_mutexattr_getkind_np pthread_mutexattr_setkind_np

Given that the _np extension on those functions means "non portable", I'd say we'd be doing folks a favour by not installing those man pages!
