Are you sure
"M-x man" on your system is capable of completion in the default
completion mode in "emacs -Q"? If not, maybe your man-db database is
missing or outdated?
On NetBSD the output from apropos is different in format to the one
on GNU/Linux. Could that be why the behavior is stuck?
Could be, but why are you looking at "apropos"?
I used "apropos" in the environment outside of GNU Emacs as a test
that man-db database is working.
AFAIU, man.el uses
"man -k", and there are various attempts to adapt to some systems, see
Man-man-k-use-anchor. Maybe NetBSD needs to be handled like kfreebsd?
Looking at /etc/man.conf (attached see), I have two lines as follows:
plan9 /usr/local/plan9/man/
heirloom /usr/pkg/heirloom-doctools/man
Maybe that missing final forward slash is a problem.
Thanks, I will look up:
* man.el
* Man-man-k-use-anchor
Maybe NetBSD wants to be handled like kfreebsd, as you say.
