I had this problem as well but only on some of the man pages not all. What
happened was there were copies of the man pages in /var/man/man?  (? = 1-9
or n) but the copies were files that were 0 buytes in length. So delete
those if this is the case and you should have you man pages back. I have no
idea how the 0 byte length copies got there though. The actual main group
of man pages are stored in  /usr/man/man?

Hope this helps
