Today I got this email from my debian server:

test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )

/etc/cron.daily/man-db:
/usr/bin/mandb: can't search directory /usr/local/share/man/man1/: Permission denied

Can me tell somebody what does it mean? I didn't change any permissions:

drw---S--- 2 root staff 4096 Jun 28 14:05 man1

P.S> Directory /usr/local/share/man/man1 contains 1 file: csf.1. Yesterday (Jun28) CSF/LFT was updated automatically. How do I fix this problem?
