>Environment:
        

	System      : OpenBSD 3.1
	Architecture: OpenBSD.i386
	Machine     : i386

>Description:

	In the weekly output emailed to root, the following message appears:

Rebuilding whatis databases:
/usr/libexec/makewhatis: /usr/X11R6/man is not a directory

This minor error message has not been fixed in several OpenBSD releases.
>How-To-Repeat:

        Easy to repeat. Simply do the stock build (assuming you are not building for X), wait a week, and you'll see it in /var/mail/root.
>Fix:

In /etc/man.conf:
Comment out line 9: _whatdb /usr/X11R6/man/whatis.db
