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...
