Note to self
Every time I install a fresh debian derived linux, I subsequently find out that I’m missing the man pages for the C library. Usually many months later, it’s not like I program in C for kicks. I then waste twenty minutes fruitlessly grepping around in apt using patterns like ‘glibc’. The package name is actually ‘manpages-dev’. Perhaps posting it here will fix this in my memory.
