    • This is just a needed update with a new glibc.

      It is one of packages which need to be updated before glibc 2.36 update.

      I write as improvement now, but the problem is that man-db uses seccomp filter increase man pages command  security. Thing is current version man-db 2.8.5-r1 version does not whitelist rseq syscall which i heavily used by glibc-2.36. And if with glibc 2.36 try to run "man ls" command very quickly get cryptic "bad syscall message":

       

      It was fixed in next release man-db 2.8.6 version (https://gitlab.com/man-db/man-db/-/commits/2.8.6 see "Update syscall lists from systemd bca5a0eacc")
