   Mandriva 2011.0, which has both daily and weekly makewhatis cron jobs.   
   I haven't checked Mageia yet.

   But I thought you reported a fix back in March, and it's still not   
   included in the Mandriva updates.  I thought bug fixes were supposed to   
   get included in the updates.   
      
   That reminds me, I modified Mdv2011.0's /etc/sysconfig/tmpwatch so   
   /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch doesn't report an error.  I suppose I ought to   
   report that through official channels.
