Try to see if permissions are preserved. Sometimes, especially if you
use SELinux (do you?), permissions are not preserved. I would use star
for this types of archiving moves and then make sure that the SELinux
context is set appropriately( I had a similar problem with man pages
before and SELinux)

Hello,
For instance "man ls" works as usual as root, but when executed as an ordinary
user nothing appears exept "(END)" from the pager (less).
I have used rpm -V on the man and man-pages pacakges without finding
any changes and have also reinstalled both packages.
The /var directory was moved from the root filesystem to its own a
while ago, but I did not notice anything after. The files was moved
from the old /var to the new with the following command: "cd /var; tar
cpf - ./* | tar xvpf - -C /newvar/" so I think
all permissions and ownerships should be correct. /var was later moved
to /oldvar and /newvar to var.
I cannot think of any other actions potentially interfering with man.
Do you have any suggestions for where I can start looking for errors?
Thanks,
Erling
