Public bug reported: When trying to look up the on-line documentation using the 'man' command it fails on 12.04 with lseek error. For example:
$ man resolvconf gdbm fatal: lseek error This lseek error applies to other requests as well (e.g. ls, fdisk, etc). System information is: $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Release: 12.04 apt-cache policy man man: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version table: However, it is installed since it runs as a command, and I find: $ which man /usr/bin/man $ man --version man 2.6.1 What I expect is to read the manual page appropriate to the command/program, and not get a software error. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001189 Title: 'man' command fails with lseek error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1001189/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
