It's possible that he had the same problem I did,
which is that /usr/share/misc/man.conf did not have
write permission turned on (and so the file copying
operation failed).

Possibly, the following code in /etc/postinstall/man.sh
should be changed:

   if [ ! -e ${datadir}/misc/man.conf ] ; then
      cp ${datadir}/misc/man.conf.default ${datadir}/misc/man.conf
      chmod 644 ${datadir}/misc/man.conf
   fi

to:

   if [ ! -e ${datadir}/misc/man.conf ] ; then
      chmod 644 ${datadir}/misc/man.conf
      cp ${datadir}/misc/man.conf.default ${datadir}/misc/man.conf
   fi
