I've only got the one set of FreeBSD CD's and not a clue in the world about how to upgrade the thing even if I wanted to ..... when it comes time to "upgrade" that will mean a total re-installation .... it works & doesn't create weird problems. If the problem results from someone "forgetting" to do whatever, it sure wasn't me !!!!!!! The right way to fix it is by removing (or, better, changing) the reference to the directory from /etc/manpath.config. This problem is *probably* the result of forgetting to merge the changes to /etc when upgrading the rest of the system (including perl).
