as wrote klaus in bug #32 (which is marked as invalid), there is problem in
whatis database update.
i have more detailed description about this:
after install, there is created in /var/cache/man/ a whatis file, where whatis
client searches description of command. but if during install is selected other
than standard locale, new whatis database is created into
/var/cache/man/$LANG(?) directory, where whatis command can't searches. i know,
that this is bug in one of man package component, and can be fixed by
developers, but we can create small dirty hack in makewahtis.cron daily job: ln
-s /var/cache/man/$LANG/whatis /var/cache/man/whatis, or cat
/var/cache/man/$LANG/whatis >> /var/cache/man/whatis, or something else what do
you like. thierry, it is possible to commit this fix? because under localized
enviroment in fact, whatis is unusable :(
