I'm not 100% sure the following issue is caused by man-db, please reassign
appropriatly if it is not.

This has got to be a dpkg bug. There's no good reason for a package not
to be able to trigger itself, and this has worked for ages.
That's because (according to the log), the man-db package being
triggered (version 2.6.2-1) is the one still using the awaiting
interest directive, which got switched to interest-noawait in 2.6.3-6.
I'll have to add Breaks for any such packages. :/ But I'm not sure how
much that might make the upgrade more difficult, as dpkg contains
already many Breaks/Conflicts.
Also font-config (#768598) / readahead-fedora (#768600).
