Summary: Any package installed with man pages needs to run
`makewhatis`
Product: Sorcery
Version: Untargetted future release
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: Cast
AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
ReportedBy: eric AT sandall.us


Our whatis database (`whatis` and `apropos`) is never updated unless the user
knows to update it. So, when a package is done installing Sorcery should check
INSTALL_LOG for man pages, and if any exist, `makewhatis -u` should be run.
