From 5222bf5d62c70c6ef855e9c51d578d55cd377832 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Schwarze Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2018 12:33:52 +0000 Subject: Correct and shorten the description of the sort order of apropos(1) results. As a matter of fact, which manpath the page comes from does not matter in that context. That only matters for the priority of pages in man(1) mode (without -a, -f, and -k).
