Hi everyone,
Manjaro installation, and installation of updates, do not run mandb,
to create/update the man page index caches.
As a result, one can not search the existing man pages with man -k, or apropos.
Also, s-nail ("mail" command) is preinstalled, but the appropriate
user mail file is not created. I am sending a screenshot attached with
this email, that shows the error message.
The solution is to run once:
touch /var/spool/mail/userName
where userName is the user name.
Then, "mail" works OK.
I think both issues are important.
Best regards,
Ioannis
