Actually, I reinstalled ALL the manpages AND the man-db, and made the system generate the caches (were I suppose the problem was) by the root user, and then things started working again -- for everyone.

broken manpages-dev
I just installed manpages-dev_1.18-2.deb, and I had to uninstall it, because it breaks my man. It stalls updating the cache, untill I have to CTRL-C it... Anyone else? Look: nr# dpkg -i manpages-dev_1.18-2.deb Selecting previously deselected package manpages-dev. (Reading database ... 28709 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking manpages-dev (from manpages-dev_1.18-2.deb) ... Setting up manpages-dev (1.18-2) ... nr# man bogus Updating index cache for path `/usr/man'. Wait... man: can't remove /tmp/zman21458aaa: Bad file descriptor nr# dpkg --purge manpages-dev (Reading database ... 29349 files and directories currently installed.)
