Did something go wrong with the packaging of this version?

Expect some temporary breakage concerning manpages. There's progress to change the default location of them in Arch (precisely: to not move them with makepkg) and also to the handling of $MANPATH. See Flyspray or arch-dev-public.

man:pacman used to work quite nicely in konqueror.
I'm sure it will again.

A quick interim solution:
Add the following to your ~/.bashrc
export MANPATH="/usr/share/man:/usr/man:$MANPATH"That should cover all cases until things start moving OUT of /usr/man and into /usr/share/man as the FHS tells us

A slightly better solution may be to add the /usr/share/man location to your /etc/profile definition of manpath.

Re: man pacman fails for pacman-git 20071209-1
by the way are the X11R6 directories in /etc/profile still needed?
i see theyre included in bash in testing too but i doubt theyre use today. in both PATH & MANPATH
could this be considered a bug?

Re: man pacman fails for pacman-git 20071209-1
funny, first of all i thought i checked flyspray before posting the above and second and even more funnier dan built the bash in testing without taking care of this even though he +1 voted the bug 
thx for the link byte
