bug#38838: 'whatis' doesn't work

2019-12-31 Thread Jakub Kądziołka
The 'whatis' utility from man-db 2.9.0 doesn't work for me. This includes both my user profile and 'guix environment's. 'apropos' works, so the man database is present and working. $ guix environment --pure --ad-hoc man-db man-pages [env] $ apropos memcpy memcpy (3) - copy memory area
