Well, I hate that packages that install man pages don't bother to run catman -w -M $dir on the directory (and again when they're removed).
And I'm getting tired of /usr/bin/awk, /usr/bin/nawk, and even /usr/xpg4/bin/awk. Once again, I run into their stupid limits. Even the xpg4 one, that is at least more generous than the other two, choked (it's called from /usr/lib/makewhatis). # catman -w -M /usr/share/man awk: line 3 (NR=5115): Record too long (LIMIT: 19999 bytes) Here's a little comparison I did way back when: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.unix.solaris/msg/f920ecd9790ae334?dmode=source gawk is one of the few GNU versions of utilities that I really like. They took some reasonable pains for compatibility, and it has for all practical purposes _no_line_length_limit_. If gawk ends up in /usr/gnu/bin as awk, then /usr/lib/makewhatis probably ought to be changed to find it first, which would avoid these problems (I just got my /usr/share/man/windex built by changing a copy of the script to use gawk).
