Segmentation fault (man & apropos)
Since last evening I have been getting segmention faults in man and in
apropos. Can anyone explain to me what that means and how I fix it? Do I
have to reinstall? I tried running fsck, but that does not seem to have
done anything. I am not sure what files or output to annex here in order
to provide useful information.
Before the errors started I had been fiddling around trying to figure out
how to send a fax from debian. I had created a sybolic link /dev/fax ->
/dev/ttyS1. I had looked at and edited some files /etc/efax.rc. I was
not succesful in my efforts. Then I decided to take a break and adjust my
system clock for daylight savings time. ( an odd americam custom) Not
being sure how to do this I typed "apropos time". This is when the first
segmentation fault occured. All of the actions described were proformed
while logged in as root. I don't know if my prior actions have any
relation to the errors, but have included them just in case. Any
assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you
