From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.18pre17-1t i686) Description of problem: after upgrading to the new man-1.5i2-0.6x package, the cronjob from tmpwatch (/etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch) throws an error message about missing directories How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the new man package from ftp.redhat.com 2. Wait one day 3. Check your cron mails error: lstat() of directory /var/cache/man/X11R6/cat? failed: No such file or directory error: lstat() of directory /var/catman/X11R6/cat? failed: No such file or directory Alternative: Install the man package, then call as root /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch Actual Results: Every single of my servers in an automated upgrade process writes me now mails :-( Expected Results: No errors should be thrown if an optional directory is missing Additional info: Once again you seem to have screwed up your QA. The old man package contained the cat? directories in /var/cache/man, the new one does not. Sheesh. Why can't you simply use the environment that your users use for upgrade testing but insist on using this %$"! RawHide sh*t? Is it too much that by packing a new version of an existing program you at least keep all the stuff that once _was_ in that package in the new one? Or if you remove stuff, you check what _could_ need it? If you do such stupid mistakes in stuff like "man", what happens in more important packages? RedHat quality has really taken a steep dive since a few months. You're approaching S**E niveau. :-( I keep the severity on "normal", I should put it on "high". If you would have to admin a four digit number of servers, you would understand why.
