Man pages disappeared [RESOLVED]

I don't seem to have any man pages anymore

n00b ~  $  man pacman
No manual entry for pacman
n00b ~  $  man ls
No manual entry for ls
n00b ~  $  man mkdir
No manual entry for mkdir

How do I get my man pages back, partcularly the pacman man page!!!

Look in /etc to see if you have a profile.pacnew file.  If so, you probably need to make it your /etc/profile file.

That worked for me.

Edit:  meant file, not page.
