Personally, I'd go with yours any time (I dislike browsers) -- but I had the impression (wrongly?) that the OP wanted a "webby" solution. But thanks for chiming in with alternatives!Yes. A "webby" solution can have two benefits in my environment: a. may minimize download downloaded byte count. b. following intervening links and cross references can lead to answering important un-asked questions.For man pages, I type man foo into google. That usually throws up one or two links from different sources. [snip]
You missed my point entirely. I have accessed the man page via https://manpages.debian.org/ . It lacks information *CRITICAL* to whether or not to install the package. It skirts the issue by referring to a file which will exist, *if and only if*, the package has already been installed. I.E. classical infinite loop ;}
