Running ln3 with etch sources, and did a few upgrades/dist-upgrades, all is running, mail/web servers, etc, but I get the following errors, and am wondering if there is a fix:

/etc/cron.daily/man-db:
mandb: can't open /usr/share/man/man1x/xtrap.1x: No such file or directory
mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/xtrapinfo.1x.gz: bad symlink or ROFF `.so' request
mandb: can't open /usr/share/man/man1x/bitmap.1x: No such file or directory
mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/bmtoa.1x.gz: bad symlink or ROFF `.so' request
[snip long list similar to above]

Any ideas? Thanks.

Could be a corrupt man database.

You may wish to run mandb -c

From the man page:Those database types that support asynchronous updates provide enhanced speed at the cost of possible corruption in the event of unusual termination. In an unusual case where this has occured, it may be necessary to rerun mandb with the -c option to re-create the databases from scratch.

See man mandb for more details

I'll try it shortly and let you know.

Edit: looks like a lot of errors were corrected, but won't know for sure until the system check tomorrow morning. Thanks for the info.
