Rebuilding of whatis database in /etc/wheecly use static MANPATH,
so, if I change mypath in /etc/manpath.conf (for example, to add manuals
to perl5),
whatis database is not build for it => apropos not work for manuals in
this path.
The fix is trivial (see in attachment).
I write to hackers, with hope, that somebody quickly correct this.
Or it is nessesory to interact with commiters via send-pr ?
