Sweet! You don't know how many times I've tried to man a command and frowned.

Now in extras-devel, not in a user/ section so you'll need to use terminal to install it.
You need man pages from a full linux install, copy the contents of /usr/share/man to /opt/man and run mandb to update the database, then mad-db will be fully working.

Package name changed to man-db-n900 since man-db breaks the SDK and the autobuilder.
Moved to a user/ section

Just installed the man-db-n900 package with the application manager and I have this error when I type "man man":
(The above is translated from French)
What am I doing wrong? Is another package required?
Code:
pager: applet not found man: command terminated with exit code 256: pager -s

Ahh, I see...
Ran into that same problem after flashing my device and somehow the backup did forget about "less"
Mohammad, thank You for that man command, which I did really miss on the N900!

[EDIT] Nevermind. Just followed MohammadAG's instruction in #3 and then package was set up successfully. 
What is the current status of the package?
I got these errors when installing several dev tools
Thanks!

Now in -devel!
Copying them over from an Ubuntu install works.
For those of you wondering:
I'll upload this to -devel later on when I find out how to change the path.Path changed, place man pages in /opt/man and run mandb, will package a small database of the basic pages.
To install type (as root):
