In fact this problem afflicted a small handful of pages in man-pages. It seems that apropos/catman/mandb didn't like the construction of the piece before the "\-" in the NAME line of the man page. I've applied this fix: ===== --- a/man7/path_resolution.7 +++ b/man7/path_resolution.7 @@ -22,7 +22,7 @@ .\" .TH PATH_RESOLUTION 7 2009-12-05 "Linux" "Linux Programmer's Manual" .SH NAME -Unix/Linux path resolution \- find the file referred to by a filename +path_resolution \- how a pathname is resolved to a file .SH DESCRIPTION Some Unix/Linux system calls have as parameter one or more filenames.
