Package: man-db
Version: 2.8.4-2+b1
Severity: serious
File: /usr/bin/mandb
Hello,
I am no longer able to install many packages. The man-db hook keeps
running and running for ages.
I have monitored it with strace and it seems to run over the same files
in man1 folder all over again, never ending. See the logs (also
filtered for open* syscalls):

Best regards,
Eduard.
