Hi, Did the recent update(s) clobber a previously existing file or symlink in /etc for man?
$ man man man: can't open the manpath configuration file /etc/man_db.conf $ cygcheck -c | grep ^man man-db 2.9.3-4 OK man-db-create-index 2.9.3-4 OK man-db-index-synchronously 2.9.3-4 OK $ cygcheck -p man_db.conf Found 2 matches for man_db.conf man-db-2.7.6.1-1 - man-db: Man page viewer man-db-2.9.3-4 - man-db: Man page viewer $ cygcheck -l man-db | grep '/etc/man_db.conf' /etc/defaults/etc/man_db.conf $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-10.0 FOUREYES 3.1.7(0.340/5/3) 2020-08-22 17:48 x86_64 Cygwin On my other not-updated Windows 10 machine, there is an /etc/man_db.conf file. I don't think I put it there (e.g. copy from /etc/defaults). Shouldn't man "Just Work" post install? /allen ________________________________ Disclaimer Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail, and any attachments and/or documents linked to this email, are intended for the addressee and may contain information that is privileged, confidential, proprietary, or otherwise protected by law.
