        I don't think anyone wants to waste space with that, esp. since whatis is missing as well, so the DB would be absolutely useless.

          PfSense doesn't have man(1) and the related utilities but the packages still want to run the indexing tools on install. It's a bit broken but we have to do with what the FreeBSD ports offers.
