Interesting..
  Juat discovered  that my repositiory list was  reduced to just the breezy
badger repositories. After the
  update, I at least spotted the  manpages.

  Downloading and installing as we speak..

(For bonus points: Does anyone know how I can see which repositiory provides
which package ?. Just to
 check whether  this is an error between keyboard and chair or  a missing
repositiory )
