Title:
  man-db exits return code 139 and seg faults

Status in “gdbm” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “man-db” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: man-db

  DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
  DISTRIB_RELEASE=7.10
  DISTRIB_CODENAME=gutsy
  DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 7.10"

  I think it is this package (it's the man-db script run form cron.daily and cron.weekly that is causing the problem)
  man-db:
    Installed: 2.4.4-3
    Candidate: 2.4.4-3
    Version table:
   *** 2.4.4-3 0
          500 http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/main Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  I'm getting dialy messages from cron as the man-db job is exexuted
  from cron.daily. They started with:

  "/etc/cron.daily/man-db:
  mandb: bad fetch on multi key intro     3
  mandb: index cache /var/cache/man/6428 corrupt
  run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/man-db exited with return code 2"

  since jan 20th i've been getting:

  "/etc/cron.daily/man-db:
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/man-db exited with return code 139"

  Please let me know if I can provide the more useful info!

  Thanks
