Shouldn't 'col' be easier to find? From: Keith Christian To: cygwin@cygwin.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 X-IsSubscribed: yes X-SW-Source: 2014-07/txt/msg00121.txt.bz2 There are other packages that require a bit of time post-install, such as the texlive package. Having the man-db package update the DB immediately after install sounds like a good idea, even if it takes a few minutes. Else, end users that aren't familiar with re-creating the DB may be discouraged at not finding something in the man pages. That, or else use a non-blocking method of printing a message with the DB creation command line. On Tue, Jul 8, 2014 at 6:29 PM, Chris J.
