Binary package hint: man-db
This is more a symptom of a bug than the cause, the cat pages for section 1 are not generated (or rather written to disk) when p7zip is installed
On my system only 404main.1.gz and 411toppm.1.gz are in /var/cache/man/cat1/ after running catman.
TEST CASE:
1. sudo apt-get install p7zip
2. sudo rm /var/cache/man/cat*/*
3. sudo LC_ALL=C catman 1
4. ls /var/cache/man/cat1/
5. Verify that the list contains a few hundreds files with the extension .1.gz
If p7zip is already install then run the following preliminary steps before running the test case:
1. sudo apt-get remove --purge p7zip
2. sudo mandb
3. sudo rm /var/cache/man/cat*/*
4. sudo LC_ALL=C catman 1
5. ls /var/cache/man/cat1/
6. Verify that the list contains a few hundreds files with the extension .1.gz
It seems that catman is using 7zr (which is installed with p7zip) as the name of the section for the packages in section coming after 7zr in alphabetical order.
