I had a similar problem with 2.1.5 when I installed perl 5.x.  I moved
/usr/bin/perl to /usr/bin/perl4.  Then I noticed the same log entry.  So
I took a look at makewhatis and noticed it needed /usr/bin/perl --
oops!  

So, makewhatis is a perl script in /usr/bin and is executed by using
/usr/bin/perl.  Do you have a perl in /usr/bin?
