Don't know if this is of any help.
Your message may be of help for you in the end, because it makes clear that you don't have fink upgraded to Jaguar correctly.

After first installing Jaguar I had no problems using man whatsoever.
However, after installing Scilab I get following message:
What version of scilab? Not the one in fink's 10.2 tree, in any case. And as you say below, it was not scilab, but manconf that gave you the trouble. This trouble is precisely the reason why the manconf package was removed from fink for Jaguar.

/usr/bin/man: illegal option -- C
man, version 1.1

Removing scilab gave me full man functionality back.
You mean removing scilab and manconf? Scilab itself never *contained* manconf. The old version for 10.1 *depended* on the manconf package indirectly, via tcltk.

The file which caused
the problem - automatically installed along with scilab - was "manconf".
Removing this file alone gives me man back, however I can't use scilab then
;-)

So Thomas: I have a only a vague idea what "manconf" does.

[Nathan-Weiszs-Computer:~] nathan% fink describe manconf
Information about 150 packages read in 1 seconds.
150 packages? What kind of fink installation is this? A naked fink-0.4.1 from the binary installer or what? You should follow the suggestions on the fink web page on how to install fink for Jaguar.
To repeat: A properly installed fink for MacOSX 10.2 does not contain any manconf package.
