This is minor, but after upgrading from 6.0 to 6.1 the symbolic link for the 'rec' man page was broken. In /usr/man/man1, I had lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Oct 17 21:24 rec.1 -> /var/tmp/sox-root/usr/man/man1/play.1 (the above should be read as all one line). ---- The interesting thing is that this manifested itself a week later in mail to root about the failure of run-parts on cron.weekly. The entire message was: From: root.tntech.edu (Cron Daemon) To: root.tntech.edu Subject: Cron <root@norden> run-parts /etc/cron.weekly Read file error: ./rec.1 No such file or directory This also points up a weakness in /usr/sbin/makewhatis, in that it doesn't do a very good job of error reporting. It doesn't even report its own name (so I had to start by looking in cron.weekly) nor does it report the full path to the offending file. Hope this helps. Let me know if you'd like me to submit a patch and I'll work one up for you.
