Re: [PLUG] programs are loaded but man pages are missing

[LeRoy Cressy <ldc@netaxs.com>]

Hi Sandy,
run 
dpkg -S dpkg.8.gz

this will search for the package that contains the man page file for
dpkg.

now the contents of the dpkg package include the man pages for dpkg

Do you have the manpages package loaded?

If you are using the `potato' dist do you have the man-db package
loaded?
If you are using `slink' then you need the man pkg. and the nlsutils
pkg.
Also man depends on the groff pkg.
