Description Dave Hodgins 2012-04-01 21:34:51 CEST 
"apropos message" does not list the motd page, as
the man file uses xz compression.

Comment 3 Oliver Burger 2012-04-10 10:06:43 CEST 
Fixed, thanks for the patch.

The apropos database will be recreated by the weekly cronjob, but you can run them manually as well.
Just run the /etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis* scripts as root.
