In Slint the man-db package is named man to avoid an automatic "upgrade"
to a man Slackware package, that would override the files shipped in
man-db, including the man binary in /usr/bin.

This "upgrade" won't be proposed by the utilities slapt-get, gslapt or
spi shipped in Slint, because the default slapt-getrc prioritize the
Slint repository over the Slackware repository based on the package name.

For the same reason if an user inadvertently installs a man package
from a Slackware repository using one of these tools, the utility gslapt
will then suggest to replace it by a Slint man package after detection
of an possible update by salix-update-notifier.
