Hello,

There's something wrong with my man pager; it's producing garbage
output. My ~/.bashrc has these entries:

export MANPAGER='less -isrR'
export PAGER='less -r'

Hi, I also have the same issue.

however, there was a warning before I do `man find' that says:
Warning: cannot open configuration file /usr/share/misc/man.conf

So, after a `find /etc -name "man.conf"', I fixed it by this command:

cp /etc/defaults/usr/share/misc/man.conf /usr/share/misc/man.conf

This maybe a packaging problem?

I tried temporarily moving my man.conf out of the way and it also reproduces the symptom's of Bill's problem exactly as he describes. Bill, try this!

Yep. That's it.



Thanks,


Bill
