All man pages are missing

It seems like all man pages are missing. I installed man-db man-pages (and man-pages-overrides) but there were no man pages for anything ( such as "man ls") except for some of my own software which I had in my $MANPATH. That worked fine.

I tracked down the root cause. /etc/yum.conf has the following setting:
tsflags=nodocs

That prevents the installation of man pages. I commented out the line, and removed and re-installed man-db, man-pages and man-pages-overrides. I have most of the man pages I expect. (Sadly, I had installed quite a number of packages before that, so I'm going to have to go back and uninstall/reinstall to get those man pages.)

My guess is that you're going to want man pages installed from the start.
