have you tried 'file' to see what i says?
have you tried "rpm -V" to verify?
also, using a hex editor will give you an idea of what file is.
if it fails "rpm -V", then by all means, delete and load anew.

File says it is "troff or preprocessor input text" - that's all I've got
so
far.

i am not in fedora, but sl5.4 and all *.gz files show with 'file';
gzip compressed data, from Unix, max compression
try;
file a*.gz|less
in "man1" directory to see how rest show.

did some more thinking and recalling.
man pages are gzipped 'troff' format.
it is possible that for some reason, 'shutter.1.gz' file is actually
troff file that some how got left from unzipping and did not get
gzipped back.
if you view file with hexeditor, you will see readable text. you will
also see actual formatting if you highlight file and manually open
with kwrite, or such.
if such is case, remove '.gz' and use gzip to zip file and man should be
able to open it without error.
mv shutter.1.gz shutter.1
gzip shutter.1
which should leave you with file shutter.1.gz
faster than downloading again.
recalling was that years ago i had a similar problem with a man page and
used 'mv' and 'gzip' to restore file.

File says it is "troff or preprocessor input text" - that's all I've
got so
far.
Looks like an uncompressed man page (despite the .gz extension).
Probably an installation blip of some kind. I don't have it on my system
to check. Move the file to .../shutter.1 and (optionally) compress it.

Just had a quick look at the SRPM, upstream are providing an
uncompressed troff file, but naming it as if it is compressed. Probably
worth filing a bug about it.

Man pages in Fedora are all supposed to be gzip-compressed, but for some
reason this one is uncompressed, even though it has .gz extension. That
confuses gzip.
It's a packaging bug. File a bug against shutter:

welcome.
now that you have bug filed, at least you and others will know a
temporary solution for problem until it gets corrected. :)
mv shutter.1.gz shutter.1
gzip shutter.1
