Removing NEEDINFO.

still happens with rpm-4.14.1-3.mga7 - any news?
That's a man-db issue, not a rpm one

(In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #5) > That's a man-db issue, not a rpm one Thanks for telling what the real culprit is :-) Assigning to all packagers collectively, even if you're the registered maintainer of man-db, because you obviously don't have time for this issue ;-)

Isn't that one fixed since the update to man-db-2.8.3-1.mga7?

If at the same time we could prevent mandb update to be triggered for each urpmi split? It would be nice to only trigger at the end of all rpms install.
