I did this:

$ /usr/bin/mandb -c

and it printed:

<snip/>


and after 3 hours is still there... May we say it is hanging? or,
really, the command you suggested take all this time and more?

I had a Cygwin install/update hang on man-db install, waiting on this
command. I had to kill the install. On the subsequent install, I
selected Reinstall, and it installed smoothly.

Sounds like there is a little bit of ironing out needed for the new
package.
