How is it not useful? I'm happy to be aware of that part of the
transaction. It would certainly be more useful if there was some
indication of what specifically it was for.
The man-db-cache-update service checks /etc/sysconfig/man-db
and if the variable SERVICE is not 'no' it runs. So it
should be possible to disable this proactive updating of the
man-db if desired.
This mandb run has always been done. The change now to running it as a
service is because when it was being run as part of the main process, it
was taking a very long time sometimes and holding up the rest of the
transaction. Now, it's running separately and is not waited for.
I submitted a patch to quiet this output:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/man-db/pull-request/5
If that's accepted then we'll eventually stop seeing this
anytime an rpm installs or removes man pages.
Personally, I hope it's not accepted and I expect there are other parts
that are using or will use this method.
