It would be greatly appreciated if whoever maintains the FAQ could
update it to refer to mandb instead of makewhatis
Thanks!

4.14. Why doesn't man -k, apropos or whatis work?
Before you can use man -k, apropos or whatis, you must create the man
database. Just run the command
mandb
(it may take a few minutes to complete).
