In the long run, migrating all of the DB files to newer ones that
identify the size/swap nature is the right approach, however, I wonder
if a simpler fix for 'man' which would be useful for current systems
would be to keep everything in the in local DB (say the
/var/cache/man/index.db file or similar) but to allow that to index any
files discovered by its optimistic searching of anywhere along the $PATH
locations?
