Here's an example email I got today: |

OK, so let's check that file: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
# ls -al /usr/share/man/man8/./hdparm.8.bz2 |
| 24 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8569 Jul 24 10:15 /usr/share/man/man8/./hdparm.8.bz2 |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Looks OK. I ran bunzip -c on the file and it displayed without any errors. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I also ran makewhatis manually and I got no errors at all. |

One thing I have noticed is that I get these after an update (there was a |
| 32 |
recent update to hdparm). |
