I had this same problem a while ago. I traced it to naughty man-pages in the wine-doc package that contained spaces in their names, thus making man-db barf. The problem can be solved (temporarily) by finding all such man pages and deleting/re-naming them, or just by removing the offending package altogether. I filed a bug report on this some time ago, but I'm not sure is anything has happened with it. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PGP and GPG public keys at http://meta-x.net/keys/
