Try unmerging man-pages first, and then re-emerging it. Even though
it is in system, it probably won't break anything. :)

Looks like for the man-pages-3 and above, the ebuild now just is a
meta that chooses what to install based on your LINGUAS. So if you
want man in other languages besides English, besure to set your
LINGUAS. 

Best of luck,

In "Bailliere's Comprehensive Veterinary Dictionary" by D.C. Blood and Viedens 
bowyrginia Studdert, the following entry appears on page 133, right between
Brunner's Glands and Brush Border:

"Brunus Edwardii: the urban, companion animal bear, much admired for its
low food requirements and excellent house training, a high emotional output
and complete freedom from disease.  Called also Ursus Theodorus (USA) and
Pooh, Paddington or Brideshead Bear (UK)."

(I could add that they may be free from disease, but they do seem
to be susceptible to lacerations requiring surgical repair...)
