Right, but 'cd /bin; apropos *' does - and still has exactly the same
problem as I originally reported. As to 'whatis', I had tested it before
writing up this bug; it produces a totally different set of results,
including thro
Yep, what I sent was a demo of the problem. As to why you'd do this...

Hi:
The actual fix requires changing the regex that parses the output of
'unzip -qq -v' (which has changed), as well as the code that uses the
results of that regex. Here's the diff:
