Description Russell Coker 2006-08-07 05:42:01 UTC 
vixie-cron-4.1-36.EL4 on i386 works correctly for me in all areas, including
maing the whatis database.  After applying all errata vixie-cron-4.1-44.EL4 does
not work correctly in this regard and the following is the contents of the cron
email:

/etc/cron.weekly/00-makewhatis.cron:


zcat: stdout: Broken pipe

zcat: stdout: Broken pipe

zcat: stdout: Broken pipe

zcat: stdout: Broken pipe


zcat errors are repeated hundreds of times.

When I downgrade the vixie-cron package to the release version of RHEL4U3 it
works with no error messages.

This problem is (for rhel4) fixed in man package (man-1.5o1-9.rhel4) now. If
your problem occures with man-1.5o1-9.rhel4, please attach your comment to bug
