            Bug ID: 217389
           Summary: man page database mandoc.db created by host, not
                    in-tree, makewhatis
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: emaste at freebsd.org

makewhatis was recently fixed to produce reproducible output (r307003) and
later the format changed and is no longer sqlite (r312593).

Unfortunately the installed makewhatis is used by installworld. When installing
to the local system everything works as desired, as the new makewhatis will be
installed. When installing to DESTDIR (for producing VM images, FreeBSD-update
builds, etc.) the host's makewhatis is used and depending on the version may
produce nonreproducible or incorrect format output.
