            Bug ID: 223559
           Summary: man does not find catpages if the manN sub-directory
                    is missing
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: wo...@freebsd.org

I tried to run man(1) for catpages only. It does not work if the corresponding 
manN sub-directory is missing

How to repeat:
$ mkdir man man/cat1
$ man cat | gzip > man/cat1/cat.1.gz
$ man -M man cat
No manual entry for cat

Workaround: create a dummy, empty manN sub-directories.
$ mkdir man/man1
$ man -M man cat
[ now it is working ]
