Title:
  Trigger does not ensure that /var/cache/man exists

Status in “man-db” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 dev with man-db 2.6.7.1-1 and after clearing
  /var/cache I'm seeing very often errors from man-db if the triggers
  are processed on upgrading packages. Here is an example output how it
  looks:

  Processing triggers for man-db (2.6.7.1-1) ...
  /usr/bin/mandb: can't create index cache /var/cache/man/7623: No such file or directory
