Bug Description
Binary package hint: man-db
My user has strict umask, so normally everything is created without any permissions for group or others. Using sudo, some man directories seem to be created root:root rwx------ while they should be rwx-r-x-r-x. Installation assumes that the default permissions are "right" and does not make sure the dirs are accessible (excerpt from apt):
Setting up man-db (2.5.9-4) ...
Updating database of manual pages ...
/usr/bin/mandb: can't search directory /usr/local/
/usr/bin/mandb: can't search directory /usr/local/
