Description walt 2002-06-03 18:53:34 UTC 
Which means that /etc/env.d/00basic ought to include this line:

MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man

I just spent 30 minutes chasing that down.  At my projected rate
of reimbursement for consulting activies that means you owe me
$3000 US.

gentoo's official ebuilds don't concern the /usr/local tree at all, however
having /usr/local/share/man in the MANPATH does make sense, especially since
/usr/local/bin is in PATH, etc.  However, we never hired you for consulting.

Fixed on CVS.
