* The solution
install man-db into your home profile
* The explanation
mandb -k and whatis use a database of cached info called index.something.
multiple databases can be loaded and MANPATH can be used to find them.
index.db is only created if man-db is in profile. (guix/guix/profiles.scm,
manual-database/optional procedure)
