Description:
man-db - Display the on-line manual.

Changes:
man-db (2.3.17-3.1) unstable; urgency=high
.
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Apply patch for format string vulnerability (thanks, Colin Phipps and
Martin Schulze; closes: #84128, #84334, #85314).
* Migrate from suidregister to dpkg-statoverride (closes: #85049, #86108).
* Do the 'make install' step manually in debian/rules. On a clock-skewed
machine, the existing code would decide to rebuild the binaries and end
up hardwiring the temporary build directory into them. This caused
problems in an Alpha security upload; that was fixed binary-only, but
this should prevent it recurring (closes: #85421, #85463, #85812).
* Worked around change in nroff's behaviour for configure - it no longer
accepts /dev/null as an input file (thanks, Fumitoshi UKAI;
closes: #76107, #83019).
.
* Updated policy version to 3.5.1:
- Added build dependencies (closes: #61198). This includes a
build-depends on libdb2-dev after its split from glibc in glibc 2.2,
so there's now no need for special handling (closes: #41915).
- Support DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
* Clean the source package properly. As per the changelog comment in
2.3.17-2, I'll leave configure and makefile there, but other generated
files need to be removed or autobuilders may have random problems.
* Rename /usr/bin/wrapper to /usr/bin/man-wrapper until somebody makes it
generic (closes: #60084).
* Make man-db almost lintian-clean:
- Strip binaries.
- Wrote a brief man page for man-wrapper.
- Make /usr/bin/man and /usr/bin/mandb symlinks to man-wrapper to avoid
the mess of creating hardlinks in the postinst, which broke md5sums as
far as lintian was concerned. With statoverrides this doesn't leave a
window where man and mandb are setuid root.
* Check arguments to maintainer scripts so we don't do things like calling
mandb on a failed upgrade (closes: #60867).
* The test '-x $(which foo)' doesn't always do something predictable.
Replace it with better idioms where the maintainer scripts use it.
* perl-base is essential, so no need to check for perl being available.
* util-linux is essential, so no need to check for more being available.
.
* Fix segfault where apropos couldn't find an identifying string for a man
page (thanks, Les Schaffer; closes: #71797).
* Don't throw away errors in cron.weekly (closes: #28828).
* Make -s option to mandb really not check for stray cats
(closes: #78086).
* Run cron.daily as user man; mandb is already wrapped by man-wrapper, so
cron.weekly is fine (thanks, Wolfram Kleff; closes: #72292).
* If a gzip subprocess is interrupted and we clean up the temp file, make
sure we don't try to do it again in the atexit() hook (closes: #84926).
* Add another chdir() so that 'man -l' with a relative path to a
compressed man page works again.
