  The other user does not have any other user mounts, so that's not
  it, but I do find that this state of events is reproducable and
  is not a problem for the original installer, but is a problem for
  another user installing additional packages. (i.e. I reinstalled
  man twice, once as the original installer and once as the other
  user. The first did what it was supposed to do, the second
  apparently ignored the system mounts).

  I never explicitly ran mount. Presumably it was run by setup
  during the original install.
