This minor installation problem can be observed on Linux installations that 
are very thin, for example the default oraclelinux:7.2 base Docker image. 

Test: Install JDK 8u144 into a very thin Linux installation, which does not 
include the "filesystem" package, but that does have the "man" package 
installed.  When installation is complete, run "java -version" and "man java" 
to check installation and documentation. 

Expected: Installation completes quietly, version information is displayed, 
java man page is loaded. 

Actual: Installation appears to complete, but issues some ugly warnings, and 
the man pages are missing: 

# rpm -iv jdk-8u144-linux-x64.rpm
