>Description:

        Updating man page index:
        makemandb: Error in indexing /usr/X11R7/man/man3/Xv.3
        makemandb: Error in indexing /usr/X11R7/man/man3/XvSelectVideoNotify.3
        makemandb: Error in indexing /usr/X11R7/man/man3/XvFreeAdaptorInfo.3
        makemandb: Error in indexing /usr/X11R7/man/man3/XvFreeEncodingInfo.3
        ...

I am guessing that there is something wrong with the manual pages, but it 
could be that they are just different. Either way, it is obviously unacceptable
for NetBSD to ship manual pages that don't work with one of the manual
page utilities and one or other of them must be fixed.

I have filed bin/46642 about the uninformative error messages being generated
by makemandb.

>How-To-Repeat:
Run makemandb (on a system with X installed).

>Fix:
Unknown.
