- I had just finished updating the TeX man pages (not done automatically
- by SLS which was pretty frustrating.. what do I know from groff!?!?!)
- and so I naturally figured on trying to update the whatis database.
-
- It seemed that makewhatis was an appropriate means of doing this but
- it chugged for a few minutes then reported several broken pipes... now
- my whatis database appears to be gone.
-
- Any ideas?
