The id command shows: $ id uid=xxx05(opr) gid=xxx00(local) groups=xxx00(local),4(adm),20(dialout),109(lpadmin),501(operadores),502(vboxuser),xxx03(hrpt),xxx04(dosgroup),xxx07(vboxsf)
(with xxx replacing various numeric values that our sysadmin don't want on a public forum) The copy works without issue: $ \cp --verbose /var/cache/man/index.db /dev/null `/var/cache/man/index.db' -> `/dev/null' Where 'cp' is normally aliased to 'cp -ip' so it squawks about /dev/null existing, and that it can't preserve timestamps, hence the '\cp'. The obvious permissions are fine, all users can read the file: $ ls -l /var/cache/man/index.db -rw-r--r-- 1 man root 634842 May 18 12:30 /var/cache/man/index.db -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001189 Title: 'man' command fails with lseek error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/man-db/+bug/1001189/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
