Actually, you only have to run mandb (as root, I think), and it fixes the problem. You might want to refer to bug reports #10483, #11278, etc at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/pa/lman-db.html - the maintainer is aware of the problem, and I hope he figures out a fix soon. -- see shy jo -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
