Apropos, whatis...

[holo]

HI,

When I want an information using apropos(1) or whatis(1), I have:

patator# apropos: no whatis databases in /usr/local/man

I was sure to install all the man. What do I need to install apropos and whatis?

Thanks for your help

Pat

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you might be missing the catpages distribution.
You should find it in the install disc/DVD or the FTP server (<- i386 arch, 8.2 release).
Simply run ./install.sh.

Hi Beastie

You're right! I don't know why but they were not installed (catpages). I missed the package. Thanks a lot for your knowledge.
