>Description:
getNAME from makewhatis complained:
getNAME: first .SH section is not "NAME" in
`/usr/share/man/man7/mmse.7'
getNAME: first .SH section is not "NAME" in
`/usr/share/man/man7/groff_mmse.7'
This happened because the man page in question in written in Swedish.
>How-To-Repeat:
makewhatis
>Fix:
NLS support for getNAME, perhaps?
Maybe time for multiple "whatis" indices,
one for each supported language?
