Curious problem with man

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



F8
"man man" does not find anything.
"man -M /usr/share/man man" finds the man file for man just fine.
Directory permissions look fine. Config files are identical with
another F8 machine.

Does anybody have any ideas regarding this little piece of insanity. (No,
there is not a "man" alias in the way either. And the man executables are
identical.

I did copy /home over to a new partition and then swapped mount points for
the two partitions. But /home is not involved in the man operation for
root so far as I know. So it's just a tad strange that man cannot find
the man pages which are there, world readable, and all that good stuff.
