# man nothing Failed to open the message catalog "man" for locale "POSIX" (NLSPATH="/usr/share/locale/%L/%N") No manual entry for nothing strace is telling me that the file that was never created is /usr/share/locale/C/man . so, after the base install, some gencat invokations should have probably created it. man still functions. this is just a nuisance warning, probably that things are not going as smooth as they should have. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
neglected to provide `emerge info` what are your LANG/LOCALE settings ? what version of man ?
man, version 1.5m I did not set either LOCALE or LANG, so it should default to whatever.
