[Piuparts-devel] Bug#550953: piuparts should also ignore index.db for non-English manpages

Package: piuparts
Version: 0.36

piuparts ignores /var/cache/man/index.db but it should ignore the
non-English equivalents such as /var/cache/man/es/index.db too.
I noticed this since piuparts started reporting errors like this
when the package contains a non-English manual page:

>>> 0m18.3s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified:
>>>   /var/cache/man/es/index.db	 not owned

(from http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/enemies-of-carlotta_1.2.6-2.log )

Suggested fix: add "/var/cache/man/.*/index.db" to the definition of
ignored_patterns in /usr/sbin/piuparts.

Cheers,
Dave
