I ran into this yesterday. In my case i was doing 'man zram-genarator.conf'
and also for a few bcc tools programs. No entry.
Two Fedora 33 systems affected, Workstation and Server. But not a third
Workstation.
In the first case I reinstalled the zram-generator package. I noticed this
kicked off a mandb process. Problem fixed. On the second machine I found a
mandb rebuild service unit (I can't remember the exact name and I'm mobile
at the moment) and just did 'sudo systemctl start mandbwhatever.service'
and that also fixed it.
What I don't know is why it broke in the first place.
