[ zcat errors removed ]

This error message is coming from the makewhatis.cron being run in
/etc/cron.weekly.  The best way to get rid of these errors is to edit
the /etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis.cron and change the follow line:

from:
makewhatis -w
to:
makewhatis -w >> /var/log/cron 2>&1

This will throw all the errors to /var/log/cron.

Or, just install this RPM:
ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/unsupported/raq4/rpms/man-1.5h1-2.6.xC1.i386.rpm
