Subject: Re: Bug#1805: man package problem

Hi Alvar,

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I checked the /usr/bin/man
permissions and they are correct.  I ran strace as myself and
as root and the gzipped uuencoded results are concatenated below.
I am currently running a completely fresh debian system.  I 
reinstalled from scratch because I rearranged my disk partitions
but I think I recall seeing this problem on my old system.

I think strace uncovered the root of the problem (maybe a feature!).
As I said before the problem occurs when I have a ./man subdirectory
that I don't have write permission on.  If no ./man directory exists
there is no problem.  I am using tcsh and my path starts with "." .
Note, the default debian tcsh path has "." at the end. The manpage 
for manpath says it uses the info in /etc/manpath.config, the environment
and my path also.  Here is a quick command sequence that makes this
obvious:

  oleta% cd /usr/doc
  oleta% ls -ld . ./man
  drwxr-xr-x  81 root     root         2048 Nov  5 17:03 ./
  drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         1024 Nov  1 22:29 ./man/
  oleta% man manpath > /dev/null
  man: can't create index cache /usr/doc/./man/index.db: Permission denied
  oleta% manpath
  manpath: warning: /usr/X386/man: No such file or directory
  manpath: warning: /usr/X11R5/man: No such file or directory
  manpath: warning: /usr/X11/man: No such file or directory
  manpath: warning: /usr/X386/man: No such file or directory
  ./man:/usr/local/man:/usr/man:/usr/X11R6/man

So the manpath is including ./man which is something of a surprise to me.
So what should happen when a ./man subdir exists that is not accessible
or is not a real man page directory as is the case for /usr/doc/man?

Sorry about the long lines in my message.

thanks,
Stuart

Hi Stuart,

Hmmm I dont know what why you are seing this problem. I have just
installed a pristine system here for a co-worker and I dont see the
same problem with his machine - the index.db file is created OK (in
the correct /var/catman dir). I dont have my sources here at work so I
will have to look some more when I get home. In the mean time if you
are still having this problem could you please strace the man
executable, gzip and uuecode the output, and mail it to me so I can
see what is happening.

eg% strace -f -o /tmp/strace /usr/bin/man foo

Does you man executable have the following permissions?

alvar@omega: ls -l /usr/bin/man
-rwsr-xr-x   1 man      root        65540 Sep 20 19:54 /usr/bin/man

Has your machine always had this problem?

Does man work OK for the superuser (root)?

Has anyone else seen this problem?

You may like to deinstall --purge the man package and reinstall it
again and see it the problem goes away.

alvar

Subject: man package problem


Package: man
Version: 2.3.10
Revision: 2

When I type "man <command>" as a user from a directory that has
a man subdirectory that I don't have write permission on I get
the following error message:

man: can't create index cache /usr/doc/./man/index.db: Permission denied

The page is then displayed okay but I can't figure out why the
system wants to create the index file.

I am using a newly installed debian 0.93R6 with kernel 1.3.30.

Below is a transcript of several such man command sequences followed
by the environment and shell variables that were set, the status 
from dpkg for man and the manpath.config file.

Description: Display the on-line manual.
 This packages provides the man command, this utility is the primary
 way of examining the on-line help files (manual pages). Other utilities
 provided include the whatis and apropos commands for searching the
 manual page database; the manpath utility for determining the manual

 zsoelim. This packages uses the groff suit of programs to format and
 display the manual pages.

#
# This file is used by the man_db package to configure the man and cat paths.
# It is also used to provide a manpath for those without one by examining
# their PATH environment variable. For details see the manpath(5) man page.
#
# Lines beginning with `#' are comments and are ignored. Any combination of
# tabs or spaces may be used as `whitespace' separators.
#
# There are three mappings allowed in this file:
# --------------------------------------------------------
# MANDATORY_MANPATH			manpath_element
# MANPATH_MAP		path_element	manpath_element
# MANDB_MAP		global_manpath	[relative_catpath]
#---------------------------------------------------------
# every automatically generated MANPATH includes these fields
#
#MANDATORY_MANPATH 			/usr/src/pvm3/man
#
MANDATORY_MANPATH			/usr/man
MANDATORY_MANPATH			/usr/X11R5/man
MANDATORY_MANPATH			/usr/X11R6/man
MANDATORY_MANPATH			/usr/X11/man
MANDATORY_MANPATH			/usr/X386/man
MANDATORY_MANPATH			/usr/local/man
#---------------------------------------------------------
# set up PATH to MANPATH mapping
# ie. what man tree holds man pages for what binary directory.
#
#		*PATH*        ->	*MANPATH*

MANPATH_MAP	/usr/bin		/usr/man

#---------------------------------------------------------
# For a manpath element to be considered `global' it must be mentioned 
# below. Each line may have an optional extra string indicating the catpath
# associated with the manpath. The keyword 'FSSTND' indicates that the 
# default FSSTND catpath location should be used. If no catpath string is 
# used, the catpath will default to the given manpath.
#
# You *must* provide all `global' man paths, including alternate system
# man paths and locale specific manpaths and combinations of both, if 
# they exist, otherwise `user' permissions will be used to manipulate the 
# manual pages. Also, utilities like mandb will not initialise the database
# cache for any manpaths not mentioned below.
#
# Any manpaths that are `contained' within other manpaths must be mentioned 
# *before* the containing manpath. E.g. /usr/man/preformat must be listed
# before /usr/man.
# 
#		*MANPATH*     ->	*CATPATH*
