--- Comment #19 from Josh <josh at endries.org> ---
This is still happening after 11.0-RELEASE-p10.

A workaround that seems to work is excluding these files via
/etc/freebsd-update.conf:

IgnorePaths /usr/share/man/mandoc.db /usr/share/openssl/man/mandoc.db

Of course, this change means they won't get updated when they are actually
supposed to, and I'm not sure of any other consequences or side-effects.

For me it's better than getting a crapload of email all the time from systems
that think they need updates when they really don't (or worse, automatically
updating and rebooting).
