Found the problem! Turns out it was an errant apparmor profile. Fixed by running: # aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.man My next step is finding out why apparmor isn't doing any logging... Thanks all; Lawrence in particular. :)E -- Securely sent with Tutanota. It's good, you should try it: https://tutanota.com 13. Jul 2016 11:41 by ldo(a)geek-central.gen.nz:

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. _______________________________________________ wlug mailing list | > wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Unsubscribe: > https://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug
