broken pipe on makewhatis.cron

Hi.


Running FC4 on a bunch of Intel i686 boxes ...

We recently replaced an older i686 with a newer model. We installed FC4 on
same. /etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis.cron produces the msg
zcat: stdout: Broken pipe
65 times in its email report.

For what it's worth, it appears that /var/cache/man/whatis is OK and
up-to-date.

Does anybody have an explanation for this error msg, and how to fix same?

Thanks.

There's a long discussion of this bug at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla...g.cgi?id=64836

It seems to come and go.
