There is no $HOME/.manpath file in any of the NIS accounts I have tried, or for 
the local user accounts on my 10.04 box either.
Actually it is slightly more bizarre, that NIS account (opr) is braking 'man' 
but another NIS account on the 12.04 machine is OK, while opr (and others) 
accounts are all OK on my 10.04 box, so maybe there is some environment value, 
etc, that causes opr on the 12.04 box to access 
/packages/local/share/man/index.db which is triggering the fault.
But why is it seeking so far?
If the version of DB was wrong, is there not some header value to flag this?
