The correct fix is to make manpath just ignore inexistent > directories instead of bitching about them. Actually, the correct fix is to do nothing, since the manpath() function already ignores the error if called with an argument of 0, which happens when it is called by man, or if you give the -q option to manpath. Please back this out in -CURRENT and -STABLE. It makes it unnecessarily difficult for (new) users to find their man pages.
