Package: systemd
Version: 208-6
Usertags: serious
Control: affects -1 + man-db

systemd creates /var/cache/man with wrong owner and wrong permissions:

# dpkg -c man-db_2.6.7.1-1_amd64.deb | grep cache/man
drwxr-sr-x man/root          0 2014-04-10 05:37 ./var/cache/man/

# ls -ld /var/cache/man
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug  3 10:51 /var/cache/man


dpkg doesn't update directory ownership or permissions on package install, so this bug prevents man-db from creating its own cache files:

Setting up man-db (2.6.7.1-1) ...
Building database of manual pages ...
/usr/bin/mandb: can't create index cache /var/cache/man/zh_TW/1335: No such 
file or directory

Fixed in v215


        * A directive for ensuring automatic clean-up of
          /var/cache/man/ has been removed from the default
          configuration. This line should now be shipped by the man
          implementation. The necessary change has been made to the
          man-db implementation. Note that you need to update your man
          implementation to one that ships this line, otherwise no
          automatic clean-up of /var/cache/man will take place.
