Hi,

after installing texlive-core, I get the following error from man:

  $ man ls
  /home/simons/.nix-profile/bin/man: line 2: /nix/store/g9l2vrg50ajgwic6h2883kzffswbj95q-texlive-core-2009/libexec/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/man: is a directory

The given path does exist, though:

  $ ls -l /nix/store/g9l2vrg50ajgwic6h2883kzffswbj95q-texlive-core-2009/libexec/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/man
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jul  7 13:38 /nix/store/g9l2vrg50ajgwic6h2883kzffswbj95q-texlive-core-2009/libexec/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/man -> ../../texmf/doc/man

  $ ls -l /nix/store/g9l2vrg50ajgwic6h2883kzffswbj95q-texlive-core-2009/libexec/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/man/
  total 8
  dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan  1  1970 man1
  dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan  1  1970 man5

Does anyone know what is going wrong, and more importantly, how to fix
it?

Take care,
Peter
