[SOLVED]No man pages
Whenever I attempt to access a man page I get an error stating that the page doesn't exist. I have man and man-pages install. What am I missing?

You have not taken care of the .pacnew files added by pacman. You should go trough all of them and merge/overwrite as needed.
When it comes to the man pages, do a `mv /etc/profile.pacnew /etc/profile` The new profile file contains alot of changes beside the $MANPATH, and you do want all the changes.

If you've ever changed anything in /etc/profile, you will want to look at the diff first, or merge interactively with something like "vi -d /etc/profile /etc/profile.pacnew".

You soudn't have custom stuff in /etc/profile on arch, one should create a file under /etc/profile.d/ instead.
