This bug was fixed in the package man-db - 2.7.0-1
---
man-db (2.7.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New upstream release:
- Add systemd tmpfiles snippet to clean up old cat files after a week.
- Run "col -b -p -x" over cat pages if possible before parsing them
(closes: #751934).
- Move database mtime out of the database into file metadata, making the
database reproducible between installations (closes: #760895).
- Use high-precision timestamps.
- Order files by first physical extent before reading (closes: #574410).
- Prioritise COLUMNS above TIOCGWINSZ (LP: #1315282).
- Formatting improvements to man(1) (closes: #726266).
- Don't use pointed-to name as title for database-located pages (closes:
#709405).
- Move zsoelim to /usr/lib/man-db/.
* Remove unnecessary entries from debian/dirs.
* Cache the value of man-db/auto-update in the file system, so that we
don't have to talk to debconf when processing triggers (closes:
#579075).
* Add MIME handlers (thanks, Kevin Ryde; closes: #725157).
* Override the long-standing Lintian warning for non-standard-dir-perm on
/var/cache/man.
* Adjust cron.daily to skip cat file cleanup if running under systemd,
since the upstream-provided tmpfiles snippet now handles that.
* Rebuild the database on upgrade to this version, since the format has
changed.
