Public bug reported:
When trying to access an undocumented help, the help proposes to use
"man 7 undocumented". Yet this page does not exist on my machine. Base
installation of Ubuntu 18.04.
```
alexis at Oreo:~$ man 2 printf
No manual entry for printf in section 2
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.

No manual entry for undocumented in section 7
