Small subset of man pages available after install from Redhat-compatible repo
I followed the instructions from here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/ to install version 15 on OL 8.8, with some additions:
postgresql15-libs-15.3-2PGDG.rhel8.x86_64
postgresql15-pltcl-15.3-2PGDG.rhel8.x86_64
postgresql15-15.3-2PGDG.rhel8.x86_64
postgresql15-docs-15.3-2PGDG.rhel8.x86_64
postgresql15-server-15.3-2PGDG.rhel8.x86_64
Then running “man initdb” returns “No manual entry for initdb” but the manpage exists here: /usr/pgsql-15/share/man/man1
I was expecting all of the man pages provided in the RPM packages to be available without having to provide the full path. Is this a bug in packaging or is my expectation incorrect?

Everything is fine. Just put /usr/pgsql-15/share/man on your MANPATH.
