--------------------+--------------------
 Reporter:  Tatsh   |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  defect  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal  |  Milestone:
Component:  ports   |    Version:
 Keywords:          |       Port:  man-db
--------------------+--------------------
 {{{
  $ port installed man-db
 The following ports are currently installed:
   man-db @2.11.2_0 (active)
 }}}

 Every time I run `man $manpage` for any topic, less/more runs but nothing
 is shown on the screen. When I quit less/more I get this message in the
 terminal:

 {{{
  $ man wget
 man: command exited with status 255: (cd /opt/local/share/man &&
 /opt/local/libexec/man-db/zsoelim) | (cd /opt/local/share/man && tbl) |
 (cd /opt/local/share/man && nroff -mandoc -rLL=104n -rLT=104n -Tutf8)
 }}}

 Other info:

 {{{
  $ command -v man
 /opt/local/bin/man

  $ echo $MANPATH
 /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/man:/opt/local/share/man:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/share/man:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/usr/share/man:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/share/man:/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/share/man:/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/share/man:/System/Library/Filesystems/acfs.fs/Contents/man
 }}}

 This is on an M2 machine if that makes a difference.
