To debug this, we have to decide whether the problem is in the manual page sources used (for example due to bogus patches), in the build system, in the man(1) command on Arch, or in the formatter (likely groff) on Arch. As a first step, can you provide the file that gets installed on Arch? You can probably find the name and path of that file with $ man -w ssh-agent More is likely required after that, but what is needed depends on the contents of that file. You should also say up front which man(1) implementation you are using, which roff formatter you are using, whether you have enabled any caching of preformatted manuals, whether you have any man.conf or manpath.config files in use, and what they contain. This is likely to be some simple user oder packager error; yet again, it could also be a yet unknown mdoc(7) or man(7) compat issue, which is why i'm interested.
