(Get the code!)
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.
