it seems that /usr/ports/infrastructure/man is not searched by default, and there is no example in man.conf for it. given that some pages like dpb(1) are there, and referenced thruout a number of pages (eg bsd.port.mk), this seems an oversight.
on a releated note, it also seems that ports/infrastructure/man/mandoc.db is also not created by default. the diff below adds a manpath to man.conf, but that still doesn't fix the issue of ports/infrastructure/man not being searched. perhaps this should be taken out of examples? or at least some note should be made in ports(7) or the FAQ that one should add this? many regular manpages reference it, and 'man dpb' never works by default. --- etc/examples/man.conf Fri Mar 27 17:17:16 2015 +++ etc/examples/man.conf.new Sun Apr 12 16:24:55 2015 @@ -7,6 +7,7 @@ manpath /usr/share/man manpath /usr/X11R6/man manpath /usr/local/man +manpath /usr/ports/infrastructure/man # Options for terminal output. output width 78
