Severity: normal
npm help cmd is supposed to show the man page npm-cmd,
but it only shows the list of more-or-less matching commands
(which basically says: type npm help cmd to get more help).
AFAIK, npm help install looks for
/usr/share/npm/man/*/npm-install.1
but not for
/usr/share/npm/man/*/npm-install.1.gz
and as the former is not found by npm, npm help does not go on to
call man npm-install (which would find the .gz file).
According to
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-javascript/npm.git/tree/debian/README.source
the problem can be worked around by using appropriate symlinks,
but the suggested links are not present in the debian package.
Instead, /usr/share/npm/man itself is a symlink to
/usr/share/man, where only .gz files are found.
(Alternatively, npm could be patched to look for .gz man-pages, but this isn't
currently
done, either).
