Problem with man
Man I try to update my man pages cache I get the following
error message:
[~] $ man -u bash
Updating index cache for path `/usr/man'. Wait...man: can't open /usr/man/man1/gnuserv.1: No such file or directory

The first line of the error message states that /usr/man/man1/gnuserv.1
is not found. But AFAIK, I did not delete any manpage in /usr/man/*
BTW, what package does gnuserv.1 (must be emacs) belong to and why are
the man pages of gnuattach.xemacs.20.1.gz (and other such files)
pointing to the man page of gnuserv (which does not exist) ??
