Full Version: Fresh RC3 - no man entries

I installed RC 3 fresh and noticed that there were no man entries for any commands/programs. I noticed that man-db wasn't even installed by default, but installing it didn't do the trick. If I man anything, I only get
Code:
xbian@RPi ~ $ man screen
man: no manual entry for 'screen'

Is there a way to fix this?
Confirmed: Also missing on CB. There does seem to be a way of fixing it See Here but I would suggest to wait for a developer to confirm/deny.

The manual pages seem to be there in /usr/share/man so the "link" just needs to be made.
"man" is not installed by default

Code:
apt-get install man
rm /usr/local/bin/man

logout, login, all will be ok.
@mk01 Can I confirm that the man pages are installed but man is not?

If so this seems a strange thing to do, especially if trying to save resources. Also why put a soft link to busybox, this also seems an odd choice. If this action was intentional, then maybe change busybox to a script stating that man is not installed by default and show the above fix.
