Description of problem:
man cannot create cat files in /var/catman because of missing
subdirectories.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgrade to the already well known man-1.5i2-0.6x
2. tell man to create "cat" pages by commenting out "NOCACHE" in
/etc/man.config
3. man ls 
4. ls -la /var/catman  --- it is empty

5. as root  mkdir /var/catman/cat1
6. man ls
7. ls -la /var/catman/cat1
# ls -la /var/catman/cat1
total 12
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Jul 11 16:10 .
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         4096 Jul 11 16:09 ..
-r--r--r--    1 root     root         2700 Jul 11 16:10 ls.1.gz

=> the man program does not create the needed directories and the man
package does
    not contain the needed directories. Catch 22


Actual Results:  The man program can not write the created cat pages
because the needed subdirs
are missing


Expected Results:  man should either create the subdirs itself or the man
package should contain all 
necessary subdirectories.

Additional info:

And yet another bug in the innocent looking yet really evil man-1.5i2
update from
Hell.

Please, don't ever again tell me that you actually test this stuff. This
bug is stupid.
