Description of problem:
I was working with CentOS 5 and I was noticing some what appears to be
a functional regression in F14 mandb:

In F14, directories specified in the MANPATH environment variable
seems to be ignored.

man pages not available

Please add the --debug option to a failing 'man' command and post the output.  Thanks in advance.

Comment 2 Mark Bidewell 2011-02-19 16:24:33 UTC

This must have been an error on my part.  I cannot reproduce.
