man does not show manpages under /usr/share/man/man8

[anilg]

Manpages like apt-get and apt-clone that reside under /usr/share/man/man8 ..

root@nexenta:/usr/share/man/man8# man apt-get
No manual entry for apt-get
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.

Adding these manually via mandb -f /usr/share/man/man8/apt-get.8.gz works.

Manpages under usr/share/man/man7 are recognized but not displayed. Ex: man gnupg shows:
----------
 Manual page gnupg(7) line ?/? (END)
----------

However

root@nexenta:/usr/share/man/man7# ls -l gnupg.7.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 417 Feb 15 02:48 gnupg.7.gz

Check key SECTION in /etc/manpath.config.
You must include number '8' after 1, 1n, sequention.

For example:
SECTION 1 1b 1c 1f 1m 1s 8 2 3 ... etc

Thanks.

Just uploaded man-db_2.5.2-2nexenta4 with this fix.

Numerous man pages do not display at all, and every one that does display appears to end prematurely.

Behavior is the same as shown above by anilg:
--------
Manual page gnupg(7) line ?/? (END)
--------

Doesn't display:
apt-clone(8)
kstat(1m)
killall(1m)
devzone(1)
devzone_free(1)
devzone_enter(1)
devzone_create(1)
gnupg(7)

Cut Off:
prstat(1m)
apt-get(8)
apt-cache(8)
sudo(1m)
dtrace(1m)
bash(1)
sh(1)
ps(1)
awk(1)
lofiadm(1m)
svcadm(1m)
svcs(1)
