Some man pages for pthread seem to be missing, for example
pthread_cond_wait(3). I think it may be all the cond and mutex ones that
are missing. The above example (pthread_cond_wait) is referenced in
pthreads(7) and can be found on the web, and many of the other
pthread_*(3) man pages are present, so I'm not sure why these are
missing in Debian.

Hello,

Both manpages and manpages-dev packages use linux manpages project as source,
which doesn't provide (yet?) pthread_cond_wait(3).

http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/dir_section_3.html
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/missing_pages.html

However, you can find pthread_cond_wait(3) in debian packages glibc-doc and
manpages-posix-dev (from OpenGroup:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/pthread_cond_wait.html).

This dangling link may be removed then.

Best regards.
