thanks, is this problem reported somewhere? i don't think it's ideal to
permanently rely on this workaround
I'm not aware of a report, if you'd like to add it to Bugzilla.
I see this in freebsd.update.sh:
<https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/66d8ffe3046ded1eb3f78599c6af8eb965482ef5/usr.sbin/freebsd-update/freebsd-update.sh#L3151-L3161>
– but I don't know how things are done with FreeBSD Installer, when
legacy files are used instead of packages.

With 15.0-PRERELEASE installed by the ALPHA1 installer, I find the same
issue. Worked around:
makewhatis
