Description Paul Taylor 2007-01-05 13:12:49 UTC 
Output from /etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis (received in email message):

/etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis: line 5: /bin/nice: No such file or directory
/etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis: line 5: exec: /bin/nice: cannot execute: No such file or directory

The correct path is /usr/bin/nice.

Re-emerge man and try again...
Comment 2 Paul Taylor 2007-01-05 14:39:00 UTC 
After resyncing and running "emerge man", /etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis has been removed:

# equery files man | fgrep cron
/etc/cron.daily
/etc/cron.daily/makewhatis

The cron.daily script also has the incorrect path to nice:

# fgrep nice /etc/cron.daily/makewhatis
exec /bin/nice /usr/sbin/makewhatis -u
