fix with
apt-get install man-db
but then man pages are not there, as you originally suggested. You can re-install all the packages with this one-liner which reinstalls exactly the same version
dpkg -l | grep '^ii ' | sed 's/ */\t/g' |cut -f 2,3 | sed 's/\t/=/' | xargs apt-get install --reinstall -y --ignore-missing

Although the real solution is really to install man-db
before any other package, so that they all get installed with their own manpage. (also because the oneliner above stops when it reinstalls sshd
)
I think the pages may be there, but
man
is not installed! crazy uh?
