hi,
strange: the manuals stored under /usr/share/man are not recognized though i have
MANPATH /usr/share/man
in my /etc/man.conf. it's the original man.conf from the man package. i haven't changed anything.
for example, the mplayer man page is under /usr/share/man/man1/mplayer.1.gz, but when i try
man mpl[TAB]
only mplex is shown.
when i run "man mplayer" i get a "No manual entry for mplayer".
what should i do?
vlad
ps: is this the right forum? it's rather a package issue...

add
unset MANPATH
to your .bashrc
or alternatively redefine all your required MANPATHs there

thank you pressh!
it works now.
i see the MANPATH isn't set correctly in /etc/profile.
there is only:
export MANPATH="/usr/man:/usr/X11R6/man"

We've removed MANPATH from /etc/profile in newer filesystem packages - make sure you don't have an /etc/profile.pacnew hanging around

thank you all!
"unset MANPATH" and now it works.

As I already said, this has been fixed already in the new filesystem package. /etc/profile moved from the bash package to the filesystem package - try re-installing filesystem to get a new /etc/profile.
-edit- aw, crap, files are improperly tagged in CVS. It looks like the new filesystem package is still in testing, and not moved to core yet.
In any case, it is fixed already, and will be pushed to [core] soon.

I didn't even notice when this update was installed. Shouldn't there be a .install message to warn users? Simply saying:
[2008-01-13 09:06] warning: /etc/profile installed as /etc/profile.pacnew
is not enough.

Pacman provides that warning *itself*. Look at your log:
grep pacnew /var/log/pacman.log

what is for you a new filesystem package ?
at least if you mention the version of that package it will help a lot.
i am still at filesystem 2007.11-3 here
and filesystem-2007.11-5 is in [testing]

The version in testing, 2007-11-5, is the one with the /etc/profile changes.
