That cannot be concluded, since you only showed the strace for the command that works for you. The alliance pkg altered the linker's search path, unrelated to your problem. > Clearly there > is an alliance directory with it's man pages but perhaps they are using > a directory > path with a missing /man sibdirectory?

Examine your environment variables after logging in. grep for "MAN" as it could be that $MANPATH or $MANSECT or others are different than what is found in /etc/man.config -- that would override man.config with non-working values. "man -k" is same as "apropos" and fetches info from the whatis db, a path that is built-in and different from $MANPATH. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
