[Bug]: update-alternatives does not always run makewhatis if appropriate #25217
Description
Problem description
In
I tested mandoc_hook.patch and it was working for me at that time, however, unfortunately I am no longer seeing the same results while using it today, that I was seeing when I tested it 1 week ago, on the same device and Termux installation.
At the time, I was very sure that it was automatically running makewhatis every time that an alternative was changed using the update-alternatives command, but now when I test it, it's not.
What steps will reproduce the bug?
pkg upgrade
pkg install less moar
update-alternatives --config pager-
Select an alternative for
pagerthat is not the currently selected one
man pagerWhat is the expected behavior?
Tomjo2000 wanted the status of man pager and equivalent commands for other alternatives to always show the manpage for the currently set alternative, not a previous one.
