When I try to display the man page for /bin/passwd, the man page for

It appears that both the package containing /bin/passwd, and the
openssl package place the passwd.1.gz file in the /usr/share/man/man1
directory, so that only the man page from the most recently installed
package is displayed.
No, the Cygwin passwd tool has no man page. The documentation is
only in the User's Guide:

My apologies if this is a transitional problem related to the recent
changes to the /etc/passwd file, but …
Attached is a short script to demonstrate the problem I described.
cyg-passwd.sh (attached with a .txt exension), will pause 3 times
while you run setup-x86_64.exe to 1) install pending changes and make
sure cygwin-doc and openssl are installed, 2) reinstall cygwin-doc, 3)
reinstall openssl.
Attached is the output from my short script.
Attached is the output from cygcheck -svr.
With 30+ years experience on *nix systems, the man page is my first
stop for usage details on any program.
I believe this problem should be directed to the attention of the
openssl package maintainer.
Thanks for your continued attention.
