You are probably looking at a 'cached' copy of the preformatted
manpage. The preformatted, cached copies of the manpages live in
the `/usr/share/man/cat?' directories.
You can verify that it is indeed this cached copy that you are
reading with:
$ man -w ifconfig
If you see something like this:
$ man -w ifconfig
/usr/share/man/man8/ifconfig.8.gz
$
Then you are not using a cached, preformatted copy.
If, on the other hand, you see something like:
$ man -w ifconfig
/usr/share/man/cat8/ifconfig.8.gz (source:
/usr/share/man/man8/ifconfig.8.gz)
$
then it's a preformatted copy that you are going to read.
You can safely remove all the preformatted manpage copies, with:
bash# cd /usr/share/man
bash# find cat? \! -type d | xargs rm
