Dear All,
I run debian stable on my box.
Today, when installing chromium and scid, I got twice an error message linked to gdbm. It seems this happens now whatever I install from scratch.
See for instance here
Processing triggers for man-db (2.7.6.1-2) ...
gdbm fatal: read error
Setting up scid-data (1:4.6.4+dfsg1-2) ...
Setting up libsnack-alsa (2.2.10.20090623-dfsg-6) ...
Setting up tcl-snack (2.2.10.20090623-dfsg-6) ...
If I understood correctly, it is a problem related to the man pages only, but it is annoying. Any idea about how to deal with it?
Cheers

Hi there.
I'd try the fix posted at bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=646815#p646815.larry77 wrote:f I understood correctly, it is a problem related to the man pages only, but it is annoying. Any idea about how to deal with it?
DebianStable
Code: Select all
$ vrms
No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian! rms would be proud.

Thanks!
In any case, for me the solution
sudo mandb -c

appeared to have solved the problem.
