Wrong. It's been this way in coreutils as long as I can remember; are you not on a Gentoo Linux system?

man -K works exactly as the example in the doc shows.

Here's the output of man man:

-k     Equivalent to apropos.

-K     Search  for  the  specified  string in *all* man pages. Warning:
       this is probably very slow!  It  helps  to  specify  a  section.
       (Just  to  give  a  rough idea, on my machine this takes about a
       minute per 500 man pages.)


. . . -K is a perfectly valid option. Something is broken on your end.
