Your quote above has me somewhat concerned. You shouldn't put anything
in
front of 'man', i.e. "man man" will run the man command and bring up the man
page for the man command itself. If "man man" doesn't work, then indeed you
don't have it installed. The deb packages are "man-db" and "manpages" I
believe. Look for them, but note that there are a couple of other packages
that provide man pages (manpages-dev, for example, has programming related
man pages).
