+%description
+The man-db package includes five tools for browsing man-pages:
+man, whatis, apropos, manpath and lexgrog. man preformats and displays
+manual pages. whatis searches the manual page names. apropos searches the
+manual page names and descriptions. manpath determines search path
+for manual pages. lexgrog directly reads header information in
+manual pages.
