[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.
