 Your email says /etc/cron.weekly so it must have existed at the time it
 was generated.  I've never seen a makewhatis in /etc/cron.weekly

I've three different machines and all show the same error in dead.letter.  
Like yours none of them has a makewhatis under /etc/cron.weekly.  It doesn't 
make sense to me.

I have it as weekly and I just fixed the path -- don't know why nice
 was moved or what else went wrong.  Seems to me it should be
 weekly, anyway.

[gentoo-user] Something changed with nice?

2007-04-13 Thread Mick
Hi All,

I am getting these errors in /root/dead.letter:
===
/etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis: line 5: /bin/nice: No such file or directory
/etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis: line 5: exec: /bin/nice: cannot execute: No such 
file or directory
===

Of course, I can only find /usr/bin/nice so that may make sense.  Is it a cron 
bug?
