    [SOLVED] Not building database - man-db/auto-update is not 'true'.

    I installed ppa-purge via the terminal after running sudo apt update.

    Code:

    Is the "Not building database ..." line normal in KDE neon or did I do something to break things (which I don't believe I did)? man ppa-purge works just fine.

    it is just a message, not an error per se. Don't know why it might be happening, though.

    But from KDE Neon's forum:

    A better explanation, and a fix:

      Code:
      sudo touch /var/lib/man-db/auto-update
      from the second link fixed it!
