When I am logged into a jail and I use apropos to search the man pages
I get this error:
# apropos dnssec
apropos: file is encrypted or is not a database
Running makewhatis returns what is no doubt a related error:
# makewhatis
/basejail/usr/share/man//mandoc.db:
Data changed, but cannot replace database
/basejail/usr/share/openssl/man//mandoc.db:
Data changed, but cannot replace database
My searches do not reveal any discussion of this quirk. How does one
use apropos inside a jail?
