Problem with man.

["Pablo" <pablo@megapolis.pl>]

Hi all,

This is standart output for my man:

man: can't remove /tmp/zmanEfHp6d: No such file or directory

I try to fix it, checked the /tmp directory for exists and have "sticky" bit
set, and found /etc/cron.weekly/man-db don't finished corretly last time.

this is my /etc/cron.wekly/man-db:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Last modification: Fri, 15 May 1998 08:06:59 +0300
# man-db cron weekly

# regenerate man database
if test -x /usr/bin/mandb
then    /usr/bin/nice /usr/bin/mandb --create 2>/dev/null > /dev/null
fi

next I try to run by hand /usr/bin/mandb --create --debug

and output is here:

deb:~# /usr/bin/mandb --create --debug
