Can only access certain man pages with sudo

I can only access certain man pages with sudo. They aren't accessible as either root or normal user. I can't be a 100% sure but it would appear that the man pages I have problems with are those located in /usr/share/man. I can't see any differences in file or directory permissions with those located in /usr/man. Anyone else having this problem. Or have I commited another noobish mistake.

man pacman is an example.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Can only access certain man pages with sudo

the filesystem and bash packages need to be updated after the pacman 3.1 release
if you want immediate results add
UNSET MANPATH to your .bashrc

There shouldn't be any reason to learn more editor types than emacs or vi -- mg (1)

Cheers dolby.

Though I think you meant.
unset MANPATH
