Subject: Bug#3181: apropos in package man depends on package bsdmainutils

# dpkg -s man
Package: man
Status: install ok installed
Priority: important
Section: doc

Version: 2.3.10-11
Depends: groff, libc5, libgdbm1

Invoking 'mandb -c' calls 'col' which is contained in package
'bsdmainutils'. Since I did not install that package functions such as
'apropos' did not work for me. So I think package 'man' should depend on
'bsdmainutils' or maybe you move 'col' to package bsdutils.

Thanks for your bug report; I've reassigned it to the man package.

Alvar, can you make the change, please?
