After upgrading cygwin to the most recent version, I found that man pages aren't displayed anymore; for example $ man man Warning: cannot open configuration file /usr/share/misc/man.conf Then I saw that my MANPATH looks strange: $ echo MANPATH :/usr/ssl/man Note the leading column, which looks as if some part of the MANPATH has been cut off. I fixed this by manually adjusting the MANPATH: $ export MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/ssl/man $ man man Now it does display the man-page, but before this it also writes the aforementioned error message. Next I did $ /usr/sbin/makewhatis $ man -k shell Now I get that error message *twice* (but then man -k displays an overview of the available shell commands, as expected). Now I checked /usr/share/misc and found that it has permissions 000. I chmod the permissions to 0777. Also I found that /usr/share/misc is empty, i.e. there is no file man.conf in it. I checked the man-page for man.conf, but there was no hint how this file usually is generated. Of course I can live with this bug, since man eventually seems to do its job. Still I'm curious what is going wrong here. Any ideas?
