Bug Description
When trying to access an undocumented help, the help proposes to use "man 7 undocumented". Yet this page does not exist on my machine. Base installation of Ubuntu 18.04.
```
alexis@Oreo:~$ man 2 printf
No manual entry for printf in section 2
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.
alexis@Oreo:~$ man 7 undocumented
No manual entry for undocumented in section 7
```

Thank you for your bug report, that seems to not be happening in the current Ubuntu serie, maybe it has been resolved in an update
