Man pages missing?

Question

Hi
In a core install, I noticed that the man pages are missing. How do I install them? And I mean the man pages plus those ones that are part of the programming in C functions.
Also ... what's the name of the package which contains such usefull programs as strace and string?

Okay, im not sure about which stuff to merge from profile.pacnew to profile apart from unset MANPATH.
# /etc/profile
