It isn't but that is not how you reindex with packages, the packages
provide commands to reindex that make sure it is run with the correct
permissions. (You can have multiple Koha instances easily on a
packaged install)

So running the rebuild_zebra.pl command by hand will most likely
result in screwing up the permissions.

With a lot more information someone could, what exact version of Koha
are they running, what flavour of MARC, has someone changed the
frameworks? etc
