man package - manual NOT found

Hi folks,

After running update and ungrade ;

# pacman -Syu

$ man pacman
No manual entry for pacman

# pacman -Ql pacman

.....
pacman /usr/share/man/
pacman /usr/share/man/man3/
...........
pacman /usr/share/man/man5/
...
pacman /usr/share/man/man8/
....

# export | grep MAN
declare -x MANPATH="/usr/man:/usr/X11R6/man"

Then
Edit ~./bashrc
adding "export MANPATH=/usr/share/man

run
# source ~/.bashrc

$ man pacman
works again

Just installed iptables;

$ man iptables
No manual entry for iptables

$ iptables -h

iptables v1.3.8

Usage: iptables -[AD] chain rule-specification [options]
       iptables -[RI] chain rulenum rule-specification [options]
       iptables -D chain rulenum [options]
       iptables -[LFZ] [chain] [options]
       iptables -[NX] chain
       iptables -E old-chain-name new-chain-name
       iptables -P chain target [options]
       iptables -h (print this help information)
....

It is working.

I suppose I have to repeat the above steps on "man pacman".   Please advise is there any clue to fix this problem permanently avoiding re-running the said steps each time after installing a new package.  TIA

B.R.

Re: man package - manual NOT found

I just add "unset MANPATH" as the last line of /etc/profile and this seems to fix all the manpage problems for me.

Re: man package - manual NOT found

The latest filesystem package added "unset MANPATH" at the end of /etc/profile .  Have you move the /etc/profile.pacnew to /etc/profile (after moving any additions you made to the new version)

I don't have /etc/profile.pacnew here

$ sudo locate profile.pacnew
Password:
No printout

$ grep pacnew /var/log/pacman.log

[2008-02-09 01:55] warning: /etc/locale.gen installed as /etc/locale.gen.pacnew

$ ls /etc/ | grep locale

I doubt whether I should run;

$ sudo mv /etc/locale.gen.pacnew /etc/locale.gen
???

$ cat /etc/locale.gen.pacman

## Configuration file for locale-gen
##
## lists of locales that are to be generated by the locale-gen command.
##
## Each line is of the form:
##
##     <locale> <charset>
##
##  where <locale> is one of the locales given in /usr/share/i18n/locales
##  and <charset> is one of the character sets listed in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps

##  Examples:
##  en_US ISO-8859-1
##  en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
##  de_DE ISO-8859-1
##  de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15
##
##  The locale-gen command will generate all the locales,
##  placing them in /usr/lib/locale.
##
##  A list of supported locales is included in this file.
##  Uncomment the ones you need.

## This file names the currently supported and somewhat tested locales.

Re: man package - manual NOT found

I just add "unset MANPATH" as the last line of /etc/profile and this seems to fix all the manpage problems for me.

$ cat /etc/profile

#
# /etc/profile
#

export PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/bin"

export MANPATH="/usr/man:/usr/X11R6/man"
export LESSCHARSET="latin1"
export INPUTRC="/etc/inputrc"
export LESS="-R"

export LC_COLLATE="C"

export COLUMNS LINES

export PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
export PS2='> '

umask 022

if [ "$TERM" = "xterm" -o "$TERM" = "xterm-color" -o "$TERM" = "rxvt" -o "$TERM" = "xterm-xfree86" ]; then
  PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"'
fi

# load profiles from /etc/profile.d
#  (to disable a profile, just remove execute permission on it)
if [ `ls -A1 /etc/profile.d/ | wc -l` -gt 0 ]; then
  for profile in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
    if [ -x $profile ]; then
      . $profile
    fi
  done
  unset profile
fi
# End of file

Whether add a line "unset MANPATH" after  "unset profile" ?

TIA

Re: man package - manual NOT found

When was the last time you updated your system?  The latest "filesystem" package was released on 2008-02-01 so should have made it to your mirror by now.  This fixes that problem for you.

About 3~4 days ago.

I'll re-run "pacman -Syu" later.  I'm now NOT on Arch

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ENCRYPTION USERS

The "password" column in /etc/crypttab has now
two special keywords:
- ASK  ask for a passphrase on boot
- SWAP use a random key and create swapspace
       This is particularly dangerous, as the
       volume in question will be overwritten
       If you use SWAP as your passphrase (which
       is insecure anyway), be sure to remove it
       from /etc/crypttab to avoid dataloss!

See /etc/crypttab(.pacnew) for more information.

What  shall I do.  I can't have 2 MANPATH to satisfy both "man iptables" and "man pacman"?

Edit ~/.bashrc

adding another line "export MANPATH=/usr/share/man" above "export MANPATH=/usr/man"

???

Besides;
How about those warnings on running update and upgrade with "pacman -Syu";

warning: /etc/updatedb.conf saved as /etc/updatedb.conf.pacsave
warning: /etc/nanorc installed as /etc/nanorc.pacnew
warning: /etc/sudoers installed as /etc/sudoers.pacnew

Re: man package - manual NOT found

I realized this too: /usr/share/man is not in MANPATH
same as man pages for root users, including sbin folder
so the easiest would be to change /etc/profile to include all stuff needed
no ?
please, don't tell me that user should not have access to man pages for commands which are only designed for root ;-)

Thanks for your advice.

I solved my problem with;

Edit ~/.bashrc

...
export MANPATH="/usr/share/man:/usr/man"
...

$ source ~/.bashrc
No complaint

$ man iptables
$ man pacman
start their manuals

I have no idea about further new package installed.  Maybe I have to adding more paths.

Re: man package - manual NOT found

It works perfectly when MANPATH is NOT set. In the new /etc/profile, MANPATH is no longer set.
Simply remove MANPATH from ~/.bashrc too, then do source /etc/profile, and everything should work.

About .pacnew files, you should merge all these new config files. If you don't know wtf these config files are (and never edited them), then simply overwrite the config with the .pacnew one.

Performed following steps;

Edit ~/.bashrc
delete the line "export MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/man"

$ source ~/.bashrc
No complaint

$ man iptables/gedit/pacman/etc.
all work.

I'm running sudoers

$ cat /etc/sudoers

root    ALL=(ALL) SETENV: ALL
satimis ALL=(ALL) ALL

$ cat /etc/sudoers.pacnew

root    ALL=(ALL) ALL

I retain the old file.

I'm running nano

/etc/nanorc.pacnew
It is a new file.  All lines there are commented out.  Therefore I also retain /etc/nanorc

Just to make sure everyone sees this:

no ?

From /etc/profile

Re: man package - manual NOT found

just regarding locale.gen what is en_US.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15, at the moment I only have:

en_AU.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_AU ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US ISO-8859-1

I don't think I need en_US.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15 but it was apart of the .pacnew
