Description: 
 man-db     - on-line manual pager
Closes: 135926 187750 363250 448400 472919 489907 490582 496604 514963 516808 539690
Changes: 
 man-db (2.5.6-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release:
     - Implement 'man -K', which was the last major remaining missing feature
       when comparing man-db with the man package (closes: #135926, LP:
       #390575).
     - Note that the exact rendering of (e.g.) italic text may vary depending
       on the output device (closes: #516808).
     - Don't create unnecessary database directories (closes: #472919).
     - Explicitly state that -P/$PAGER/$MANPAGER identifies a single command
       with no pipes (closes: #363250).
     - Make whatis/apropos only display any given manual page, or pointers to
       it, once (LP: #27113).
     - Map CP1251 encoding to LESSCHARSET=windows, per less(1) (closes:
       #539690).
     - Loop through semicolon-separated coding tags in the first line of
       manual pages, and convert Emacs coding tags to ones that libiconv
       understands (closes: #496604).
     - Convert text to UTF-8 and then (if necessary) to the target encoding.
       This allows us to distinguish between "text not in input encoding" and
       "characters not representable in output encoding" (closes: #514963).
     - Replace database entries if the mtime of the new data is newer than
       that of the old data, even if the new data represents a symlink rather
       than a regular file (closes: #490582).
     - Increase limit on NAME sections from 2048 bytes to 8192, since some
       pages exceeding the previous limit have been observed in the wild
       (closes: #489907).
     - Cope with some more cases of database corruption (closes: #187750).
     - By default, man will now try to interpret pairs of manual page names
       given on the command line as equivalent to a single manual page name
       containing a hyphen (e.g. 'man foo bar' => foo-bar(1)). This supports
       the common pattern of programs that implement a number of subcommands,
       allowing them to provide manual pages for each that can be accessed
       using similar syntax as would be used to invoke the subcommands
       themselves.
   * Upgrade to debhelper v7.
   * Reverse the direction of the man and mandb symlinks, and migrate any
     statoverrides referring to the old locations in /usr/lib/man-db/.
   * Run cron jobs at idle I/O priority if dpkg 1.15.0 or newer is installed
     (closes: #448400).
   * Policy version 3.8.2: no changes required.
