Chris,
There are a few issues with the current man-db setup:
1) the cache is not strictly necessary for operation of man(1);
2) mandb -c is quite slow with a large number of manpages (~20min on
my
system)
3) generating the cache only during man-db postinstall doesn't help
for
manpages updated or added between man-db releases.
Therefore, we need to discuss further how to best handle the man-db
cache. In the meantime, to help avoid user complaints, could you ship
a
new release without the postinstall/preremove?
I agree. The indexing should be removed from the post install.
