Strange behaviour of catman



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi. I've got debian running, it works fine.

I only have one question about a strange behaviour of catman. It seems to
build cat files for section 1 mostly just fine, but when it comes to the
other sections, I get this kind of output:

Updating cat files for section 8 of man hierarchy /usr/share/man
man: can't chmod /var/cache/man/cat8/767: Operation not permitted
accept(8), man: can't chmod /var/cache/man/cat8/767: Operation not permitted
accessdb(8), man: can't chmod /var/cache/man/cat8/767: Operation not permitted
activate(8), man: can't chmod /var/cache/man/cat8/767: Operation not permitted

And the output rate slows to a crawl; catman takes a rather long time to
run, even if it's run every day. Of course man can't chmod
/var/cache/man/cat8/767, that file doesn't exist. :) Does anybody have any
idea what could be causing this bizarro behaviour?
