Bug confirmed. In Mageia 1 ... man -k message|grep motd motd (5) - message of the day In cauldron ... man -k message|grep motd no output. In Mageia 1, we have /usr/share/man/man5/motd.5.lzma, while in cauldron, we have /var/mnt/91/usr/share/man/man5/motd.5.xz, so it seems the man program is not handling .xz files properly.

Oops. Sorry, forgot this had already been reported, as it didn't show in in a search on makewhatis. Should have searched on man.
