Based on https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/man-db-src.html, I have the latest installed: cygcheck -c | grep ^man man-db 2.9.3-4 OK man-db-create-index 2.9.3-4 OK (after removing the man-db-index-synchronously package) I installed those on 01/07/2021. > > I ran C:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile "/etc/postinstall/man- > db.sh" manually at a bash prompt and I got back the /etc/man_db.conf file. > > Please update to the latest version of man-db so you get the bugfixed > perpetual postinstall file. > Meh, while there's churn in the man packaging, I'll either run the postinstall script(s) myself or use MANOPT.

Done: 2021/01/05 09:53:34 Uninstalling man-db-index-synchronously I also removed the leftovers not handled by setup: rm -rf /etc/postinstall/man-db-index-synchronously.dash.done /allen ________________________________ Disclaimer Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail, and any attachments and/or documents linked to this email, are intended for the addressee and may contain information that is privileged, confidential, proprietary, or otherwise protected by law.
