This is probably caused by /etc/cron.daily/makewhatis trying to |
| 18 |
decrompress man-pages to scan them for its database. |

* Do these files really exist? |
| 20 |
* Have you tried to decompress them to stdout manually (# bzcat <file>)? |
| 21 |
* Are they really bzip2-files? (Check with # file <file>) |
| 22 |
* Ist your disk full? |
| 23 |
Try reproducing the error by running |
| 24 |
# makewhatis -w -v &> makewhatis.log |
| 25 |
as root and check the logfile. |
