postmodernoh you got to be kidding me. You'd think that installing `man-db` would automatically replace the placeholder `man` command, but apparently it leaves it in place, and installs the actual command as `man.REAL`, which you then have to explicitly use dpkg to replace /usr/bin/man with /usr/bin/man.REAL. <a href="https://github-wiki-see.page/m/blitterated/docker-dev-env/wiki/Setup-man-pages-in-a-minimized-Ubuntu-container" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github-wiki-see.page/m/blitterated/docker-dev-env/wiki/Setup-man-pages-in-a-minimized-Ubuntu-container</a> <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ubuntu</a> <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/docker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#docker</a> <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/manpages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#manpages</a>
