http://www.debian.org/cgi-bin/fom?file=58&showEditCmds=1 This one reached the Faq-O-Matic. I said there: man or in this special case the binary from the package man-db uses a database (you guessed it already, no?), which sometimes can get corrupted. This database is updated once a week by /etc/cron.weekly/man-db. You can rebuild the database at any time by running man-db or mandb as root. If the segmentation faults do not vanish, keep looking. I you have suggestions/corrections about the Problems/stable section of the FOM please feel free to email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cheers, Jens --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for pgp-key (during normal european business time hours) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
