Comment 24 for bug 1001189

In the long run, migrating all of the DB files to newer ones that identify the size/swap nature is the right approach, however, I wonder if a simpler fix for 'man' which would be useful for current systems would be to keep everything in the in local DB (say the /var/cache/man/index.db file or similar) but to allow that to index any files discovered by its optimistic searching of anywhere along the $PATH locations?
