I reinstalled "man", then "man find" worked, but with "man chown" still

lux-tw:~ # man chown Kein Handbucheintrag für chown vorhanden

Same here. xx> man chown If 'man' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf man -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20200829 Qt: 5.15.0 KDE Frameworks: 5.73.0 - KDE Plasma: 5.19.4 - kwin 5.19.4 kmail2 5.15.0 (20.08.0) - akonadiserver 5.15.0 (20.08.0) - Kernel: 5.8.4-1-default - xf86-video-nouveau: 1.0.16 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

Check rpmconfigcheck, each line. Try reinstalling the man-pages. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
