I upgraded just now to

  GNU Emacs 30.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, cairo
  version 1.16.0) of 2023-11-01 [commit
  8eb9b82ce58a8323af21f52625a401e19e279a9c]

but don't get it to work. After using the below settings and
command to get to a file on an OpenBSD system and do, from
that buffer,

  M-x man RET ls RET

I get the GNU ls(1) manpage, not the OpenBSD one.

Maybe it is supposed to work some other way?
