Summary: "man" manpage subsystem not working, missing tty-char error

Description System Administrator 2003-07-19 17:20:13 UTC 
	
	Since 2 weeks ago, with CVSup updates, the "man" command (and subsequent installs that
need to build manpages) is failing.  The error I consistently get is:

Formatting page, please wait...troff: fatal error: can't find macro file tty-char

Despite rebuilding and reinstalling the system (through makeworld/buildworld) this error
continues.

Fix: 

Unknown what the proper fix is; I suspect "man" isn't seeing /usr/share/man/tmac/tmac.tty-char
but I could be wrong.
How-To-Repeat: 	
	Repeating this is simply trying to call "man" on any command.

Verify that you have the /usr/share/tmac/tty-char.tmac file. 
If not, reinstall the system.
