Changes:
man-db (2.4.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release.
- Restructure the code that finds man pages to allow more flexibility.
Man pages are now located first, then sorted properly before they are
displayed (closes: #107946, #146696).
- Case-insensitive lookups are now the default, although they can be
disabled with -I or --match-case (closes: #108410). The database
format had to be changed to support this, so existing databases will
need to be rebuilt; debconf will ask about this at medium priority. In
the process, move from libdb2 to libdb3.
- Add a new -E/--encoding option to select different nroff devices
(closes: #123994).
- Use groff's utf8 device if the current locale specifies the UTF-8
character set (closes: #129783).
- Various changes that help with displaying output from the forthcoming
groff 1.18. In particular, the -R flag is passed to less - shout if
this causes any problems.
- Work around libdb delays on zero-length databases (closes: #137908).
- Add $MANLESS, which can be used to override all of man's
do-what-I-mean code for setting $LESS (closes: #141403).
- 'apropos --wildcard' anchors on word boundaries by default. Use
--exact as well to revert to the old behaviour (closes: #37686).
.
- Mention ps and utf8 groff output devices in man(1) (closes: #123997).
- Document mandb's exit codes in its man page (closes: #111851).
- Set less's -M prompt as well as its -m prompt (closes: #123312).
- Give the correct page titles to less when man is invoked recursively
(closes: #139155).
- Use .BR for references in manpage.example (closes: #143389).
.
* Stop using the wrapper that squashed root privileges down to uid man. It
didn't provide any real security benefits in my opinion, and caused too
many problems (closes: #58112, #74790).
* Updated German and Brazilian Portuguese debconf translations (thanks,
Sebastian Rittau and Andre Luis Lopes).
* Correct path to text manual in doc-base file, and mention some more
formats (thanks, Robert Luberda; closes: #149547).
* start-stop-daemon isn't available when running from debootstrap. Use
perl in the postinst instead to drop privileges in this case (thanks to
Torsten Landschoff for the idea).
