For some strange reason, when I got my installation of fedora, man command was missing. I have already install development tools packages - but still no luck.
I checked all the usual suspects: PATH, etc. No good:
> whereis man
man: /usr/share/man
# that's, of course, where documentation goes; not helpful!
What is the rpm that gets me man command? (Googling the subject is hard as all kinds of irrelevant results come up.)

yum install man-db should give it to you
I'm running Fedora 16 at the moment.
So it did! Also, said it needed groff for dependencies, which explains while perldoc was failing to format the output correctly!
Oh boy, is my life better. Thank you. :-) – None – 2011-11-14T01:47:51.360

I'm not installing Fedora again just to answer this question, but on my Amazon Linux AMI (which is RPM based and probably based off Red Hat), it's just a package called man.
Does Apropos exist?
