I have a newly installed xubuntu 13.10 x64. I decided to install zsh via synaptic and make it my default shell. The installed zsh's version is: zsh 5.0.2
(x86_64-pc-linux-gnu).
The installed zsh
looks ok, but there seems to be no man documentation for zsh
. Entering the command man zsh
gives me this: No manual entry for zsh.
I have also installed from synaptic, aside from zsh itself, zsh-lovers, zsh-doc, zsh-dbg. What did I miss in my zsh
install to end up with zsh
with no man documentation?

zsh --version
) then extract and copy them into place with:
