I wrote in before with the problem that apropos is now broken on my potato system and I don't know how to fix it. It either hangs with no response, gives a short response and never finishes (never get the bash prompt back unless I ^C), or prints a response repeatly (of one or more finds). In the latter case seems to get stuck on something from section 3, maybe tckl or qt.
How can I repair apropos? I have tried apt-get dist-upgrade as suggested, but my system seems to be up to date as far as that was concerned (first did apt-get update). I know others don't have the problem, but they may have different packages installed than I do, and there may be a broken man page somewhere that is screwing me up? If it would help I could attach a list out of my installed packages, or a directory list of all man files I have? Any ideas?
