[Solved] Man not working...

Man isn't working, which is a bit odd.

samwalton@mac-mini ~ % man man
No manual entry for man
samwalton@mac-mini ~ % man pacman
No manual entry for pacman
samwalton@mac-mini ~ % man ls
No manual entry for ls
samwalton@mac-mini ~ % man nethack
No manual entry for nethack
samwalton@mac-mini ~ %

It was working and I can't recall when it broke, so I'm not sure if it was an update that broke it.

Any ideas how I can fix it?

Have you tried:

pacman -S man man-pages

?

When you -Syu, you need to merge any resulting pacnews, or stuff breaks. In this case, look at /etc/profile{,.pacnew}

Re: [Solved] Man not working...

Ah right, thanks. I should probably read around a bit more.

A bit of googling revealed 'pacdiffviewer' which is brilliant for merging files and the problem was in '/etc/profile'.
