--- Comment #2 from Dag-Erling Smørgrav <des@FreeBSD.org> ---
mandoc.db is generated as part of the afterinstall target in etc/Makefile.  It
seems this runs earlier now than it used to, so it doesn't see the full set of
manual pages.  I wasn't able to find out when exactly the order changed, but
14.3 does not have this issue.  The easiest solution is probably to move this
logic out of etc/Makefile and into Makefile.inc1.
