Hello, when looking for manpages with apropos I always get an error message and the wildcard search fails for X related (and some other) man pages.
(I use Debian 1.1.4) Look at this: ---- BEGIN pretty good example ---- rudi:~$ apropos -w XDraw* apropos: warning: can't read the fallback whatis text database. apropos: /usr/X11/man/whatis: No such file or directory XDraw*: nothing appropriate. rudi:~$ apropos XDrawPoint XDrawPoint (3x) - draw points and points structure apropos: warning: can't read the fallback whatis text database. apropos: /usr/X11/man/whatis: No such file or directory ----- END pretty good example ----- How do I create the fallback whatis database? Do I need it?
