it seems a man path search defect of man db

$ cd /
$ man u2d
man: can't open /usr/share/man/dos2unix.1: No such file or directory
No manual entry for u2d

but
$ cd /usr/share/man/man1/
$ man u2d

works.

As
$ gzip -cd u2d.1.gz
.so unix2dos.1

man-db is looking on the wrong directory, while for

$ gzip -cd zcat.1.gz
.so man1/gzip.1

$ man zcat
works fine everywhere

Marco
