FWIW, with man-db, it's usually best for most people not to set MANPATH at all unless manual pages are somewhere that can't be straightforwardly derived from PATH. man-db will normally work it out based on PATH, and that way it's harder for them to get out of sync. -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwatson@debian.org]
