Subject: bug#38838: 'whatis' doesn't work
Date: Tue, 31 Dec 2019 22:59:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191231215941.jpr57n5kqp6x3km6@zdrowyportier.kadziolka.net> (raw)
The 'whatis' utility from man-db 2.9.0 doesn't work for me. This
includes both my user profile and 'guix environment's. 'apropos' works,
so the man database is present and working.
$ guix environment --pure --ad-hoc man-db man-pages
[env] $ apropos memcpy
memcpy (3) - copy memory area
wmemcpy (3) - copy an array of wide-characters
[env] $ whatis memcpy
memcpy: nothing appropriate.
Regards,
Jakub Kądziołka
