From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: The man documentation of whatis(1) tells the following in the DESCRIPTION ... The whatis database is created using the command /usr/sbin/makewhatis. ... But the makewhatis IS NOT located in /usr/sbin: # which makewhatis /usr/bin/makewhatis Since the the man page of makewhatis(8) clearly put the command in section 8 (manager specific) it does make sense to actually put the makewhatis program/script in /usr/sbin.
