Arch Linux

Description:

There is a subcommand of npm: "npm help".

(Usage: `npm help [npm subcommand here]`. For example: `npm help ci`.)

On Linux/macOS, `npm help` can show the manpage for any npm subcommand.

This is not working in the Arch package, but it's working in npm directly from the npm package registry.



Additional info:

* package version(s): npm 7.6.3-1, Node 15.11.0-1
* link to upstream bug report: https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/2857

(It was determined that this was an Arch packaging bug, not an upstream bug, since it's fully working everywhere outside of the custom Arch package.)



Steps to reproduce:

- With npm from the Arch package, do `npm help ci`.

Expected:

Manpage for "npm-ci" is shown.

Actual:

```
$ npm help ci
Top hits for "ci"
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
npm help package-json ci:76
npm help install ci:73
npm help config ci:62
npm help package-lock-json ci:24
npm help exec ci:17
npm help scripts ci:16
npm help npx ci:15
npm help update ci:14
npm help ls ci:13
npm help ci ci:13

Did you mean this?
ci
```

- Counter-example: Working npm directly from the npm package registry:

- mkdir get_npm_as_modules && cd get_npm_as_module
- npm install npm@7
- npx npm help ci

Output:

```
NPM-CI(1) NPM-CI(1)

NAME
