# ll -d /var/cache/man drwxr-xr-x 32 man root 4096 сен 22 05:05 /var/cache/man/ # ll /usr/bin/mandb -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 129632 апр 10 07:38 /usr/bin/mandb* But it doesn't happen anymore, and the cache of manpages is now finally created. I think it is the cron job who did the trick and fixed the prob. Now when you asked, I can reproduce the issue again by chown'ing the cache directory to root -- after removing all the cache (/var/cache/man/*), and re-runnin mandb -pq as user man it complains exactly the same way. But in the man-db.deb, /var/cache/man is owned by man user? And it should had been here when installing man-db, because it installs after base-password. Wtf. I installed using debootstrap --variant=minbase, and later on, installed a bunch of large packages (like gnome), and man-db has been pulled by one of these. So I'll try to reproduce it in a next few days by doing another install. Thanks, /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
