The message below sums up the problem: Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2001 04:06:39 -0400 From: root.ma.us (Cron Daemon) To: root.ma.us Subject: Cron <root@jik> run-parts /etc/cron.daily /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch: error: lstat() of directory /var/cache/man/X11R6/cat? failed: No such file or directory I'm using tmpwatch-2.7.2-1. Something like this might be in order, instead of what's at the end of /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch now: for d in /var/{cache/man,catman}/{X11R6/cat?,cat?,local/cat?}; do [ -d $d ] && /usr/sbin/tmpwatch -f $d done
changed in 2.7.3 and later.

please take a look to bug 47859, where i posted an IMHO interesting patch. also, even if it is resolved on rawhide a formal errata could be needed to close all the different cross dependency bugs related to this same problem
