Package: tkman
Version: 2.2-1
Severity: normal

When tkman starts, the first page it shows ("A Bird? A Plane?..") shows this 
message above the headline:

Warnings

Problems in component paths of MANPATH environment variable...
/usr/share/man -- no `whatis' file for apropos
    => generate `whatis' with mkwhatis/makewhatis/catman
/usr/X11R6/man -- no `whatis' file for apropos

I've left this as normal severity rather than minor because of the
warning about broken apropos.  However, in a simple test (entering
files and hitting shift-enter) the list included, e.g., cp.  So it's
not clear the information is really missing.

Similarly, clock apropos gets xclock.

I realize that if there is a problem it may lie with the man  page
installation rather than tkman, but since I'm seeing it in tkman I'm
reporting it here.
