[SOLVED] 2019-08-04 Update: mandb segfaults

Looks like something broke.

Code:

# mandb
mandb: warning: $MANPATH set, ignoring /etc/man_db.conf
Purging old database entries in /usr/man...
Processing manual pages under /usr/man...
Updating index cache for path `/usr/man/man3p'. Wait...mandb: warning: : ignoring bogus filename

Segmentation fault
# mandb -c
mandb: warning: $MANPATH set, ignoring /etc/man_db.conf
Processing manual pages under /usr/man...
Updating index cache for path `/usr/man/man6'. Wait...free(): double free detected in tcache 2
Aborted

Reverting to the old mandb package while keeping the new man-pages package works ok.

I see the same problem on my -current box.

Yesterday's upgrade (man-db-2.8.6) works fine here.

Pat released 2.8.6.1 which fixes the problem.

Thanks guys.

Yes, latest package works ok. I would have researched a little more last night but it was past my bedtime.
