No manual entry for list-timers

Why does the search give no results?
I think I have trouble with manpages search. Any clue?

Here's what man(1) says about the -K option:

        -K, --global-apropos
           [...]
               Note  that this searches the sources of the manual pages, not the
               rendered text, and so may include false positives due  to  things
               like  comments  in source files, or false negatives due to things
               like hyphens being written as "\-" in  source  files.

hobbit:~$ zgrep 'list.*timers' /usr/share/man/man1/systemctl.1.gz
\fBlist\-timers\fR [\fIPATTERN\fR\&...]
\fBlist\-timers\fR\&.


sadly I have installed a localized version of man-pages where the "-K" option is not translated (missing). Using:

$ LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 man 1 man

gives me the proper man-page with the "-K" option explained, sorry for the noise.

Kind regards.
