Yes, and perms are mostly irrelevant, cause I install from elevated prompt. /var/cache/man # icacls . | iconv -f CP866 . daemon2\anrdaemon:(F) daemon2\None:(RX) Everyone:(RX) CREATOR-OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F) CREATOR-GROUP:(OI)(CI)(IO)(RX) Everyone:(OI)(CI)(IO)(RX) Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files /var/cache/man # acl . # file: . # owner: anrdaemon # group: None user::rwx group::r-x other::r-x default:user::rwx default:group::r-x default:other::r-x >> I guess I need >> to make sure this gets created when installing the package, will note >> that for the next release. > I checked and it is already packaged.

Turned out, I can easily reproduce it by > # rm -rf /var/cache/man && mkdir /var/cache/man && touch > /var/cache/man/index.db && mandb > Purging old database entries in /usr/share/man... > mandb: can't update index cache /var/cache/man/2070: No such file or directory > Processing manual pages under /usr/share/man... > mandb: can't create index cache /var/cache/man/2070: Resource temporarily > unavailable It creates CACHEDIR.TAG and cat1 cat3 cat5 cat6 cat7 cat8 subdirectories but that's about it. Nothing else is saved and the index.db is unmodified. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Tuesday, February 8, 2022 10:48:10 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
