Public bug reported:
The package libpam-runtime contains a symlink pam.7.gz -> PAM.7.gz in
./usr/share/man/man7 and this doesn't work in Windows Subsystem for
Linux since Windows has a caseinsensitive filesystem.
On ubuntu 18.04 this PAM.7.gz exists too. I know it's not a linux
centric issue. But why libpam-runtime is using Uppercase and symlinks
anyway? Other packgages in man7 just use lowercase, and this is what I'm
expecting.
Hopefully you can fix it.
