Is there something not right with the man pages in 9.11.25?
As reported to Support :
I have heard two reports that man pages in the 9.11.25 release are
messed up.
The following link is a screenshot from a Slackware user:

I heard a similar report from https://github.com/pemensik in Red Hat.
Aside, I have just now realised (and this isn't new to 9.11.25) that the .html versions of the ARM don't include the man pages - if you look at /doc/arm/Bv9ARM.ch09.html, what you get is Appendix A, not chapter 9 (the man pages). In fact they're all named similarly and progress through the appendices this way with prev/next too - not sure how you get to the man pages from the index then? (Personally, I look at the .pdf version).
I installed 9.11.25 myself and confirmed this - looks like there's an issue with the on-board man pages as installed. Here's what I'm seeing:

As opposed to with 9.11.24:
