2009-05-02 17:34:24 cfsterpka description Binary package hint: man-db I've tried installing the upgrade to man-db several different ways (synaptic, dpkg offline install, apt-get) , and have not had success updating this package. It always freezes at the "Updating database of manual pages ..." status, and I've left the update running for 24hrs just to verify that it was not just taking a really long time. I'm not sure what else to try. I'm running intrepid 8.10 on an i386.
