The 'man' command is needed to open manual pages:

I tried it with mandoc, but it doesn't work due to incompatible parameters:
$ yelp man:man
man: invalid option -- 'Z'
man: invalid option -- 'E'
man: invalid option -- 'U'
man: BADARG: bad command line argument: -T F-8

It works only with man-db. So please add man-db to optdepends=().
