Based on https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/man-db-src.html, I have the latest installed:
cygcheck -c | grep ^man
man-db                        2.9.3-4                         OK
man-db-create-index           2.9.3-4                         OK

(after removing the man-db-index-synchronously package)

I installed those on 01/07/2021.

Meh, while there's churn in the man packaging, I'll either run the postinstall script(s) myself or use MANOPT. I need working man pages.

Done:
2021/01/05 09:53:34 Uninstalling man-db-index-synchronously

I also removed the leftovers not handled by setup:
rm -rf /etc/postinstall/man-db-index-synchronously.dash.done
