A problem with similar symptoms is on my laptop: Anacron doesn't run because
it always thinks I am on battery power (even if I'm on AC) and therefore does

The man-db bug was fundamentally something separate (trust me on this, I
fixed it), but if cron
I have the feeling that dlocate has the same problem.
May be a problem with cron?
Cheers.

Like I say, it was a bug. Should be fixed in later versions of man-db.

Thanks I've just run /etc/cron.daily/man-db and apropos works.
But I don't know why I had to run it by hand.
Thanks a lot.

It sounds like your pre-formatted man pages have not been generated

Have you run 'mandb'? There was a bug in man-db whereby this wouldn't
happen on fresh installations

Of course you. More importantly, you can put the keywords that people are
most likely to search for in that one line. The man foramt really ought to
include a 'keywords' line, though

This functionality is given by the "apropos(1)" command. "man man" still
describes "man -k" though. I guess this counts as a bug

If you get a manpage then it is the db to be rebuilt (mandb -c from
root),

I tried that, but I still get "nothing appropriate". Any other
suggestions?

It doesn't matter what I substitite for "anything". I have the
environment variable MANPATH set like this in .bash_profile:
MANPATH=/usr/bin/man:/usr/man:/usr/share/man
I have no MANPATH set on my slink-r4 and everything works fine and when
I set it to what you mentioned in your mail, it works as well. Maybe
that means that the error is something else.
Hope it helps ...
