Bug Description
After installing a package containing manpages, you have to wait for cron to update the man db before you can use the new whatis entries (e.g. with apropos). The package's install script should do this itself so you can use them immediately.

Ok, apparently they are there, but the whatis database isn't updated till cron does it. Shouldn't the install scripts update it?
