Re: Problems with man
Well, the only etc file I appear to have issues with is the /etc/manpath.config file because it won't let me use man until it finds it and yet the file is there.

Re: Problems with man
* Lord Raiden [2005-03-29 19:55 -0500] After updating everything to its latest version, did you remember to mergemaster to update your /etc files? Nope, didn't think to do it because I've never had to do it before. This would be a first. But I did run it and it errored out when I tried it and got this error. Any ideas? : snip : I cvsup'ed my ports tree and src files, but I didn't update my kernel or core files, only my ports. Might that cause a problem? It was probably because you said you updated everything, that you were guided to use mergemaster. We now see that you did in fact not update everything, just your ports. You should only run mergemaster when updating your base system. This is also probably why you never used it before.
