Description: Hello.

I noticed since last systemd upgrade, man-db.timer is activated on a daily usage. I eats a lot of time.

Here is the beginning systemd-analyze blame:

systemd-analyze blame
1min 25.219s man-db.service
931ms systemd-random-seed.service


Additional info:
systemd 248rc4-1

Steps to reproduce:

Just install this version of systemd and look at man-db.timer. It will be set for a daily usage.

Adding full systemd-analyze blame log. It could help.
   blame.log (2.2 KiB)
This task depends upon

It's always been set to run daily. If the system was off, it would run at boot, but shouldn't block anything.

RandomizedDelaySec=1h can be added to the [Timer] section of man-db.timer to avoid slowing down the system startup.
