Manpages generated by Pod::Man contain the version number, which isn't
reproducible if we're using the host Perl to generate manpage.

One option is to always depend on perl-native when generating manpages
but this is a heavy dependency, so instead strip out the versions in
do_install().

Exception: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 
'TOPDIR/build/tmp/work/core2-32-yoe-linux/fvwm/2.6.8-r0/image/usr/share/man/man1/fvwm2.1'

Is that actually a broken symlink?

it is perhaps I have to rebuilt and check but I think it would be good
if this class did not crash
like that. maybe just report a useful warning of some sort or just ignore it.
