Hi,
on our kfreebsd machines, including io.debian.net and
asdfasdf.debian.net, the porting machines, man seems to fail to display
manpages for at least most of the coreutils tools, possibly more. I
tried it for who, readdir, and cut.
| wea...@asdfasdf:~$ LC_ALL=C PAGER=more man who
| wea...@asdfasdf:~$
however:
| wea...@asdfasdf:~$ LC_ALL=de_AT.utf-8 PAGER=more man who
shows me the manpage.
On the other hand,
| wea...@asdfasdf:~$ LC_ALL=de_AT.utf-8 man who | cat
| wea...@asdfasdf:~$
produces no output, while
| wea...@asdfasdf:~$ LC_ALL=C PAGER=more man who | cat
does.
These things aren't a 100% reproducible, but they happen like that most
of the time.
Rerunning sometimes helps:
| wea...@asdfasdf:~$ LC_ALL=C PAGER=more man who | head
| wea...@asdfasdf:~$ LC_ALL=C PAGER=more man who | cat
| WHO(1)
User Commands

[..]
| wea...@asdfasdf:~$ LC_ALL=C PAGER=more man who | head -n 10
| WHO(1)
User Commands
WHO(1)
Cheers,
weasel
