I don't think /usr/bin/pager is installed by man-db. It is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/pager. Does ln -s /etc/alternatives/pager /usr/bin/pager solve the problem? The update-alternatives program belongs to dpkg, which is installed as part of the base system. Some of the other symlinks that might be present are: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Feb 24 21:51 awk -> /etc/alternatives/awk lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Feb 24 22:24 b2m -> /etc/alternatives/b2m lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Feb 24 22:22 c++ -> /etc/alternatives/c++ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Feb 24 22:22 cc -> /etc/alternatives/cc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Feb 24 22:24 ctags -> /etc/alternatives/ctags lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Feb 24 21:52 editor -> /etc/alternatives/editor lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Feb 24 22:24 etags -> /etc/alternatives/etags lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Feb 24 21:53 ex -> /etc/alternatives/ex lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Feb 24 22:19 ftp -> /etc/alternatives/ftp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Feb 24 22:25 gconftool -> /etc/alternatives/gconftool lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Feb 24 22:23 gs -> /etc/alternatives/gs lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Feb 24 21:52 infobrowser -> /etc/alternatives/infobrowser lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Mar 9 13:10 mozilla -> /etc/alternatives/mozilla lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Mar 9 13:10 mozilla-bin -> /etc/alternatives/mozilla-bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Feb 24 21:51 nawk -> /etc/alternatives/nawk lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Feb 24 22:23 oxdvi.bin -> /etc/alternatives/oxdvi.bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Feb 24 21:52 pager -> /etc/alternatives/pager lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Feb 24 22:22 rcp -> /etc/alternatives/rcp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Feb 24 22:24 rcs-checkin -> /etc/alternatives/rcs-checkin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Feb 24 22:22 rlogin -> /etc/alternatives/rlogin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Feb 24 22:22 rsh -> /etc/alternatives/rsh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Feb 24 22:26 talk -> /etc/alternatives/talk lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Mar 1 20:42 tclsh -> /etc/alternatives/tclsh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Feb 24 21:53 telnet -> /etc/alternatives/telnet lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Feb 24 21:53 vi -> /etc/alternatives/vi lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Feb 24 21:53 view -> /etc/alternatives/view lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Feb 24 21:52 w -> /etc/alternatives/w lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Mar 1 20:42 wish -> /etc/alternatives/wish lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Feb 24 22:25 x-session-manager -> /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Feb 24 22:25 x-terminal-emulator -> /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Mar 2 17:51 x-window-manager -> /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Feb 24 22:23 xdvi.bin -> /etc/alternatives/xdvi.bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Mar 7 21:01 xmlproc_parse -> /etc/alternatives/xmlproc_parse lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Mar 7 21:01 xmlproc_val -> /etc/alternatives/xmlproc_val lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Feb 24 22:19 yacc -> /etc/alternatives/yacc Do you see some of those? -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------*
