At the last update of the man package, I elected to install the new version of /etc/manpath config. The only customization I'd made was to add the man pages for my java installation, and I was OK with losing it. But now every time I run man, I get the following errors:
mandb: can't chmod /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/man/index.db: \ Operation not permitted mandb: can't remove /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/man/index.db: \ Permission denied mandb: warning: can't update index cache \ /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/man/index.db: Permission denied mandb: No databases created. This is sort of understandable because the manpath command still shows the java man directory $ manpath /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man But I don't understand why since manpath.config doesn't list it and my MANPATH variable is not set. I've run mandb (without errors) and read most of the man-related docs, but I don't understand what's going on. How can I get manpath to drop the java man directory?
