Changes:
man-db (2.4.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* The "no, the apropos segfaults weren't my fault" release.
* New upstream release.
- Add new -W/--where-cat option and arrange for -w to print out only the
location of the nroff page, to make parsing easier (closes: #156558).
- Remove some global variable abuse in the detection of preprocessors
(closes: #153794).
- Export $MAN_PN to the pager (closes: #158658).
- Fix character set lookups again (closes: #158752).
- Add bzip2 decompression support (closes: #159994). Note that this
doesn't mean packages should use it: Debian policy still mandates
gzip, and bzip2 is neither Essential: yes nor depended on by man-db.
- Print an error message and continue when a decompression command
fails, rather than immediately returning CHILD_FAIL (closes: #141981).
- Clarify the purpose of section 7 as "Miscellaneous" (closes: #161505).
- Rewrite the whatis parsing and storing code in check_mandirs.c so that
I can actually understand it, and fix some spurious pointer loops in
the process (closes: #163030).
- Avoid over-enthusiastic access() check on stdin, so that 'man -X -l -'
works (thanks, Peter Muir; closes: #167446).
- Escape man page names when globbing, so that [(1) works properly
(closes: #168129).
- Fix a slightly misfiring check for $LANGUAGE (closes: #171513).
- Detect and rebuild databases with the multi key corruption fixed in
2.4.0-7 (closes: #165625).
* './configure --enable-mandirs=GNU' is no longer necessary; the configure
script figures it out automatically.
