In the dircolors(1) man page (and other ones for long command names)
of GNU coreutils 8.30, as output in a 80-column terminal, one has

REPORTING BUGS
       GNU coreutils online help: <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/>
       Report   dircolors   translation   bugs   to   <https://translationpro‐
       ject.org/team/>

and

       or available locally via: info '(coreutils) dircolors invocation'

Two of the URL's are split on two lines, making them difficult to
follow.

The corresponding dircolors.1 file contains:

Report dircolors translation bugs to <https://translationproject.org/team/>

and

Full documentation at: <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/dircolors>

The issue may come from the fact that the URL's are not marked up as
such. http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/groff_man.7.html mentions
macros for hyperlinks. Thus this might be the solution...
