update-menus failed?

[Gonzalo Diethelm <gonzo@ing.puc.cl>]

I installed the netscape package, with the netscape binary file in
/tmp, just as the instructions said. The thing installed OK, and was
configured OK, but at the end of the process I got the following
message:

..
- Netscape will not be able to read user mail spool files unless you set
  the "external movemail program" to "/usr/lib/netscape/movemail". Changing
  the permissions of /var/spool/mail to 1777 (as suggested by Netscape) will
  introduce a small security hole which, under some circumstances, could
  allow someone else to get access to another's mail.

Update-menus: waiting for dpkg to finish (forking to background)
Update-menus: (checking /var/lib/dpkg/lock)
Installation OK.  Hit RETURN.  shell-init: could not get current
directory: get\cwd: cannot access parent directories

Is this of any importance? Is there anything I can do to fix this? I
think I remember a post regarding this issue a while ago, something
like there is a command spawned by root that runs as a different user,
and that user doesn't have read access to all the directories in the
path to a certain file. Is this it?
