This fixed my problem, thank you.

Just checking: there are _lots_ of warnings/error messages in
/var/log/mandb-index.log, is this to be expected?

Rough summary:

     54 whatis parse for ... failed
     35 bad symlink or ROFF `.so' request
     23 can't open ...: No such file or directory
     12 ... is self referencing
      3 ... is a dangling symlink
      1 ignoring bogus filename

Kinda, sorta -- yes.  Some manual pages aren't written cleanly; that's
been always the case, just those warnings were suppressed for a long
time in the post-install scripts to not clog up the install log so you
likely never saw them before I moved the output to a separate log file
and re-enabled them.


Regards,
Achim.
