Man Doesn't Work

[Bill Vance]

Howdy;

As to the Subject: line, yeah. I know, fire him.

Anyway, I've been working on 12.04, trying to get
SSL/TLS working, *again*, when shortly there after,
the man command quit working.  I don't know what
happened, or how, but when I type, "man cmndname",
what I get is:

    man: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG
    are correct.

Echoing $LANG renders, "en_US.UTF-8", and $LC* returns
a _long_ list of files and directories from my /home/
dir.

Anyone know how to fix this?
