When I execute man, it doesn't give me anything, and just returns me to the command prompt. Not even man --help will return a response. I've purged and reinstalled man-db, ensured that ncurses-base is installed, even checked the size of man (106912 bytes), and checked dmesg for any segfaults... there's just nothing I can find anywhere.
According to the man(1) man page, “man -u” will do a cache consistency check. Worth a try? You could also try invoking mandb directly.
