Hi, it seems that 'nothing appropriate' is the 'apropos' command output. Apropos is called to print command description. It seems that new versions of apropos print error message if the command is not found to the stderr.
I've fixed it in https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/262 . You can do it manually by changing apropos $argv | awk to apropos $argv ^/dev/null | awk in __fish_describe_command function.
