Environment

Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.1

Situation

The error comes from a change in /etc/profile.d/novell-zenworks.sh and /etc/profile.d/novell-zenworks.csh.
A line was added to the file that calls the manpath executable: set TEMP_MAN_PATH=`manpath`  if this is changed to : set TEMP_MAN_PATH=`manpath -q` the error does not show up.

Running an "rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/profile.d/novell-zenworks.sh" does not show that this file belongs to an rpm.

Resolution

This is fixed in version 11.2.1 - see KB 7010042 "ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2.1 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://support.microfocus.com/kb/doc.php?id=7010042
