apt manpage missing

1999-12-31 Thread David Karlin
Hello,
The manpage for apt seems to be missing, although the manpage for
apt-get is present, on my (slink) system.

I'd thought that a program's manpage is installed with the package
itself, but it doesn't seem to have happened in this case.

How can I get this manpage installed on my system?  Do I need to
reinstall apt?

Thanks and happy new year.
