>Description:
The new manual page index program produces a lot of errors on my system

Updating man page index:
makemandb: Error in indexing /usr/pkg/man/man1/digest.1.gz
makemandb: Error in indexing /usr/pkg/man/man1/checkperms.1.gz
makemandb: Error in indexing /usr/pkg/man/man1/screen.1.gz
man1/zshroadmap.1: No such file or directory
makemandb: /usr/pkg/man/man1/zshall.1: Parse failure
makemandb: Error in indexing /usr/pkg/man/man1/zshall.1
makemandb: Error in indexing /usr/pkg/man/man1/rsync.1.gz
[...]
makemandb: Error in indexing /usr/pkg/man/man1/spamd.1.gz
Building temporary file cache
Total Number of new or updated pages enountered = 921
Total number of pages that were successfully indexed/updated = 0
Total number of (hard or symbolic) links found = 3
Total number of pages that could not be indexed due to errors = 918

I can accept the problem with "zshall.1". But it seems that it doesn't
support compressed manual pages anymore. The old makewhatis(8) support
that. This is a major regression.

>How-To-Repeat:
Run "/etc/daily".

>Fix:
None provided.
