Are there directories and files below /usr/man ?
Is the file /etc/default/man still available ?
From the man page:
If set, the following environment variables override the default
values defined in /etc/default/man:
MANPATH
MANPORT
MANSERVER
MANSOCKETFILE
PAGER
MAN_HTML2ASCII

Check your environment.
