apropos broken in potato (here)
I wrote in before with the problem that apropos is now
broken on my potato system and I don't know how to fix
it. It either hangs with no response, gives a short
response and never finishes (never get the bash prompt
back unless I ^C), or prints a response repeatly (of
one or more finds). In the latter case seems to get
stuck on something from section 3, maybe tckl or qt.
How can I repair apropos? I have tried apt-get
dist-upgrade as suggested, but my system seems to be
up to date as far as that was concerned (first did
apt-get update). I know others don't have the
problem, but they may have different packages
installed than I do, and there may be a broken man
page somewhere that is screwing me up? If it would
help I could attach a list out of my installed
packages, or a directory list of all man files I have?
Any ideas? Thanks.
