Comment 1 Jeff Bastian 2014-02-24 19:46:14 UTC
There is an extra "man/" in the path:

~]$ zcat /usr/share/man/man4/run-parts.4.gz
.so man/man4/crontabs.4


If I remove the "man/" then it works:

~]$ sudo mv /usr/share/man/man4/run-parts.4.gz{,.ORIG}
~]$ sudo sh -c 'echo ".so man4/crontabs.4" | gzip -9 - > /usr/share/man/man4/run-parts.4.gz'
~]$ man 4 run-parts
