Don't know if this is of any help.
After first installing Jaguar I had no problems using man whatsoever.
However, after installing Scilab I get following message:
> /usr/bin/man: illegal option -- C
> man, version 1.1

Removing scilab gave me full man functionality back. The file which caused
the problem - automatically installed along with scilab - was "manconf".
Removing this file alone gives me man back, however I can't use scilab then
;-)

So Thomas: I have a only a vague idea what "manconf" does.

Is it possible that you also have this file installed, which might be
messing up your "man"? Perhaps it was installed without you knowing while
updating all packages.
Remember that installation of Jaguar alone did not cause these problems at
least with me.

Best,
