man pages

[Yves Dorfsman]

I did a minimal install of FC14. What is the package for the man command?

There is no package "man" which is where it was in the previous versions of 
fedora.

Thanks.

$ yum whatprovides man

man-db-2.5.7-5.fc15.x86_64 : Database cached manual pager suite

That's kind of an unfortunate description -- "manual pager" sounds like one
must flip through a book by hand.

Thanks. I saw that package but never thought this is what I needed (I did 
install man-pages).

Why is this bug saying Version: 12 ?
Shouldn't it be reported for 14?
