Man doesn't work

#1

Hi guys!
While i am here, i would like to solve old problem with man pages. It doesn’t work.

Here is my steps:

  1. apt install man
    2)apt install man-db
    3)also apt install manpages

But when i wrote man manor any simple command like man ls i see this:
root@3441fb8b141e:/usr/share/man# man man
No manual entry for man
See ‘man 7 undocumented’ for help when manual pages are not available.
root@3441fb8b141e:/usr/share/man# man ls
No manual entry for ls
See ‘man 7 undocumented’ for help when manual pages are not available.
root@3441fb8b141e:/usr/share/man# man cd
No manual entry for cd
root@3441fb8b141e:/usr/share/man# man ls
No manual entry for ls
See ‘man 7 undocumented’ for help when manual pages are not available.
root@3441fb8b141e:/usr/share/man#

What’s wrong with man pages in webminal? Or it’s my gnarled fingers?)

PS: i have also tried to reinstall packages

Hey !

Another user reported similar issue but I didn’t have to debug it. Now found the answer.

Seems like /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/excludes is preventing the man page installation. I updated your environment. Please check it works now. thanks!
