[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#521156: base: manpages lookups vs binary lookups don't match

[Sebastian S]

Package: base
Severity: important


by default, man will first lookup manpages in /usr/share/man and after that, look in 
/usr/local/share/man. While for execution bash will first look in /usr/local/bin and then in 
/usr/bin. This creates an inconsistensy between the manpage you get and what you execute.
