missing man pages in opensolaris

Installed CollabNet subversion, which modified /etc/profile to include

export MANPATH=/opt/CollabNet_Subversion/share/man:$MANPATH

OpenSolaris's man is smart; it finds manpages all by itself without relying on $MANPATH. Presence of MANPATH turns off this default behavior so you get craziness:

root@ns:/etc/# man ls
No manual entry for ls.

Solution: comment out the line specified above.
