Processing triggers for man-db
When running sudo aptitude upgrade, the console freezes for long after almost every package upgrade with a message "Processing triggers for man-db ...". What could be the problem and how can I fix it?
Ubuntu version: 12.04 (both Server and Xubuntu)
Thanks in advance.
Update: It looks like this problem is related to package autofs upon my further tests. Removing autofs resolved the issues. No idea why. I then have to use soft links instead of autofs for my file system to avoid this issue (and other two issues posted here as well).

I had something similar just after installing Ubuntu 18.04 on Windows Subsystem for Linux and running update and upgrade: it got stuck at processing triggers for man-db (2.8.3-2).
And also later, after running
sudo apt install python3-pip
My solution: I just waited. In the second case even some 15 minutes.
I do not know whether this is normal, as I am very new to Linux. But this so people just know another experience if they run into the same problem.

Might be helpful for someone: I ran into this issue on our CI regularly.
Just execute the following:
sudo apt-get remove -y --purge man-db
The command removes the man-db package completely, which in our case on CI, was completely useless anyway.
