Is apropos a shell script on your (non Debian) machine?
The TkMan Makefile claims that with Linux apropos is a shell script.
This is not the case with my Debian Linux.
I tend to think that it is also an ELF executable on other distros.
Before mailing the author about it I would like to verify that. Can you check
it on your non Debian distros and let me know the result?
[11:27:46 tkman-2.1]$ grep ^apropos -A5 Makefile
apropos = {man -k}
# Linux uses a shell script instead:
#apropos = apropos
# if don't have apropos (maybe on Windoze)
#apropos = ""
[11:27:53 tkman-2.1]$ file $(which apropos)
/usr/bin/apropos: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1,
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
[11:28:19 tkman-2.1]$ cat /etc/issue
Debian GNU/\s 2.2 \n \l
