>Number: 2183 >Category: bin >Synopsis: whereis returns environment and database errors - FDIV046 >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sun Dec 8 21:40:07 PST 1996 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Frank Durda IV (uhclem@nemesis.lonestar.org) >Organization: >Release: FreeBSD 2.2-ALPHA i386 >Environment: [FDIV046] Freshly installed 2.2-ALPHA system, logged-in as root, with stock .cshrc and .login files. "Developer" installation + DES selected. >Description: If you type whereis pkg_add, you get: (Warning: MANPATH emvironment variable set) database too small: /var/db/locate.database pkg_add: /usr/sbin/pkg_add /usr/share/man/man1/pkg_add.1.gz MANPATH is defined in /root/.login, spread over two setenv commands. Doing an unsetenv MANPATH just generates more error messages when the whereis command is performed. The database complaint may be due to something not being correctly installed or initialized during the install process. The system has been running for about 24 hours (long enough for a 'make world' to run). >How-To-Repeat: See above. >Fix: Not known. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
