Slackware, for the user repository 
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/office/texlive/
It will be also part of the next stable slackware release.

Not really, man-pages on slackware have to reside in /usr/man.
My problem is that the man binary is overwritten by the texlive 
man-link.

ls -la /usr/bin/man
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Apr 16 01:03 /usr/bin/man -> 
../share/texmf-dist/doc/man

This happens while putting scripts/symlinks in PATH, and i don't want to 
add a texlive-PATH,
as it used to be with TeTex.
This is easy to fix for packaging, but i wonder if no one other stumbled 
over this.

Ok.

Thanks, as texlive.tlpdb is the base of my build of the texmf-tree i 
wanted to note randomly seen
inconsistency.

Indeed.

That is a pitty.
I assume there are some reasons to not put mktexlsr in 
00texlive.installer,
as there are also some other duplicates in there.
