The package and permanent postinstall scripts attempt to set trigger conditions to conditionally rebuild caches as required, but that obviously is not always effective, so I did my own forced complete cache rebuilds, and added that to my local permanent postinstall scripts. [I should flag the names as local with e.g. [0z]p_l_...dash, as I already have some flagged zp_z#_...dash to restart services and run postinstall as background tasks to log rebase -is and cygcheck -hrsv, update man-db caches, and for zoneinfo to add extra aliases and replace identical zone files with links.] -- Take care.
