I remember my first days with Linux/Unix and being taught about man and apropos and info. But somehow I could never find anything useful via apropos!

With many years of insight, I think I probably never updated the database.

I'm 100% certain this is user error, but I have not once gotten apropos to give me any output other than "nothing appropriate."
