yes, this is the new makewhatis behaviour.  i wanted this for cron
entries.  eg:

tv@vador ~ $ cat /etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis-fr.cron
#!/bin/bash
LANG=fr /usr/sbin/makewhatis /usr/share/man/fr
exit 0

as for makewhatis what prevents you to run "LANG=C makewhatis" ?

as for apropos and whatis, yes, that's a bug...
