I really don't know definitively so someone else may have a better
answer but according to the man man-page -
/var/cache/man/ is an alternate database cache.
/usr/share/man/ is a traditional database cache.
>From the man-page -
/usr/share/man/index.(bt|db|dir|pag).
A traditional global index database cache.
/var/cache/man/index.(bt|db|dir|pag)
An alternate or FHS compliant global index database cache.
My /var/cache/man/ directories are empty also.
So I think your looking for /usr/share/man/
