[SOLVED]man not found after update

Hello all,

I hadn't done a full system upgrade for a month or two before this. I just did one and rebooted. Now the man command has dissappeared.  Before the upgrade, it mentioned something about replacing man, but I stupidly just said yes without reading it.

When i type in 'man' here is the error

bash: man: command not found

Any help?

I update man as well, but it works just fine for me. Check if which or locate finds man

locate man finds a ton of things

which man finds nothing

I tried looking for a man package in the repositories to download but I think its part of the kernel maybe

We switched to man-db a couple of weeks ago.
