One week ago there were none. I guess such errors are related to the macro %(trans)filetriggerin recently added in the man spec file. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Does /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/man-db.conf exists?
Yes
Does /var/cache/man/ exists?
Yes
Is this a container or full system with running systemd?
full system with systemd
What happens is you run
/usr/bin/systemd-tmpfiles --create /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/man-db.conf
command get executed, no error messages -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please give 'man' from
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Base:/System/standard/
a try .. guess: architecture is x86_64
I did a new installation and now I don't see the error as well. Either the recent mass rebuild fixed the problem, or there was some hiccup during my previous installation. Anyway, since I cannot reproduce the problem anymore, I'm going to close this bug. If the problem resurface again, I'll reopen it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

The installation I did was with tumbleweed snapshot 20240208. I have a local copy of it so I can do several installation test without worrying about new packages being available in tumbleweed. During a installation, after the 'man' package is installed the error messages about '/var/cache/man/nnnnn not found' starts to appear in /var/log/zypp/history. Each error message is printed after the corresponding package is installed. The error is consistent with the fact that /var/cache/man does not exist while the packages are installed, because it gets created at the end of the installation process when the transpost scriptlet of the package 'man' get executed. During the installation, while the error messages were written in /var/log/zypp/history, I decided to run: /usr/bin/systemd-tmpfiles --create /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/man-db.conf and after that /var/cache/man was created and in /var/log/zypp/history there were no more error messages. It looks to me like the macro %transfiletriggerin defined in the package 'man' is executed not at the end of the transaction, but at the end of each package installation, like if it was a %filetriggerin macro. If I have to guess, there is a bug in the code that decides when to run the filetrigger macro. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

There are no error messages in /var/log/zypp/history during the installation. When the man package with SR#1146144 appears in next few days in tumbleweed I'll test it too and report here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

May be the post scriptlet is the proper location for such failing command? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
