+### Please describe the problem.
+
+`cabal v2-install` produces many lines like this in the build log:
+
+    /bin/sh: ./Build/mdwn2man: cannot execute - Permission denied
+
+and the man pages don't get copied to `~/.cabal/store/...`.
+
+My guess is that Cabal is losing the file mode during some tarring/untarring.
+
+Here's a patch that fixes it. (It makes the `#/usr/bin/env perl` at the start of the file redundant; not sure if you want to delete it.)

+(Related question: is the installation supposed to put the man pages anywhere other than `~/.cabal/store/ghc-XXX/git-annex-XXX`? I.e. is it up to the user to either add that directory to `MANPATH` or copy them somewhere from there?)
