[-- Attachment #1 --] polyduekes@proton.me: > [...] rebooted into the freshly installed system, tried doing man -k > dtrace, got "apropos: nothing appropriate" weird, tried doing man -f > dtrace, again got "whatis: nothing appropriate", tried the same with > other manpages like "sh" and the other result was the same [...] the problem here seems to be that makewhatis isn't run by pkg when (new) manpages are installed. after discussing this with kevans and bapt, i think we can fix this by using pkg-triggers(5) to run makewhatis after packages that contain manpages are installed. i'll probably combine with this splitting mandoc into its own package.
