Installation fails when haskell platform is installed #36
Description
@flip111 reported this bizarre problem.
» curl -sSf https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup.sh | sh [18:54:40]
Welcome to Rust.
This script will download the Rust compiler and its package manager, Cargo, and
install them to /usr/local. You may install elsewhere by running this script
with the --prefix=<path> option.
The installer will run under 'sudo' and may ask you for your password. If you do
not want the script to run 'sudo' then pass it the --disable-sudo flag.
You may uninstall later by running /usr/local/lib/rustlib/uninstall.sh,
or by running this script again with the --uninstall flag.
Continue? (y/N) y

The problem is that /usr/local/share/man/man1 is a symlink to a file:
13:11 <ph88> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 56 Jan 24 02:14 /usr/local/share/man/man1 -> /usr/local/haskell/ghc-7.8.3-x86_64/share/man/man1/ghc.1
Apparently the haskell platform did this. I'm a little confused why.
