Description Bit Twister 2012-03-29 23:11:09 CEST
Description of problem:

man -k message     does not show all selections.
apropos message    also has the same problem.

man -k message | wc -l       should return more than 50 :(

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. clean beta2 install + updates and reboot
2. click up a terminal
3. man -k message

results:
xconsole    (1)  - monitor system console messages with X
xmessage    (1)  - display a message or query in a window (X-based /bin/echo)

Note: the following have message in their description
    man wall
    man motd
so they should have shown up.

Bug confirmed.

In Mageia 1 ...
man -k message|grep motd
motd                 (5)  - message of the day

In cauldron ...
man -k message|grep motd
no output.

In Mageia 1, we have /usr/share/man/man5/motd.5.lzma, while in cauldron,
we have /var/mnt/91/usr/share/man/man5/motd.5.xz, so it seems the
man program is not handling .xz files properly.

Oops.  Sorry, forgot this had already been reported, as it didn't show
in in a search on makewhatis.  Should have searched on man.
