I have a rather new fc20 installation (about 4 or 5 weeks).
After installing some packages for dnf and hawkey, I thought I would rerun mandb to incorporate the new man pages into the db. Not sure why it belched these errors.

_I'm not sure, but I would think this part of the errors might have something to do with it? Maybe cjeck that path to make sure eveything is legit? And bear in mind I'm SO not a "Guru" in Linux...so this is just a "guess" from my perspective, and then I guess I would search the logs to see what's REALLY going on in there!

The point is, I have had nothing to do with the man pages. They were installed by their respective packages. So, why these errors. THAT is what I am talking about.

I wonder if there's a way to update WITHOUT having the man pages come along for the ride as well?......hmm.....interesting.
