+Reporting man-db bugs
+---------------------
+
+If you are reporting a bug in the operation of the programs themselves
+rather than the packaging, please include the output of the program in
+question when run with the --debug flag. For instance, if 'man bash'
+fails to display the bash(1) manual page correctly, I will usually want
+to see the output of 'man --debug bash'.

+      reporting possible filesystem corruption (closes: #1004355,
+      LP: #1411633).
+    - mandb now stores the mtime of link targets as the mtime of their
+      corresponding database entries, rather than sometimes storing the
+      mtime of the link instead (closes: #691643).

+    - SECTION entries in a user configuration file now override those in the
+      system configuration file, rather than appending to them.
+    - If the user asked for an explicit section, sort exact matches first.
+    - Rewrite all remaining subprocess handling in terms of libpipeline,
+      especially some crash-prone code in catman (LP: #27738).
+    - The default less prompt now includes "(press h for help or q to quit)"
+      to help novices find their way around

+    - Fix a segfault when 'man -K' tries to display certain pages.

+    - Warnings about unrecognised locales are now suppressed if the

+    - 'man -f' and 'man -k' now pass through any -s option to apropos/whatis
+      respectively.
+    - All programs now support a MAN_DEBUG environment variable which can be

+  * New upstream release:

+      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

+    - Partially rewrite building of manpath according to locale. The
+      previous code was completely wrong: as well as handling duplicates

+    - Reduce the number of warnings emitted when using an unrecognised

+      probably only worth it for very large pages).
+    - Duplicate manual page hierarchies due to symlinks (e.g. /usr/man ->
+      /usr/share/man) are detected and removed from the search order.
+    - A locale modifier (e.g. @latin) in a directory name must now match the

+    - Fix a number of problems with the localisation changes in 2.5.0.

+      mechanism should now actually fall back as intended.
+    - Add a 'man --recode' option to output a source manual page converted

+    - Allow only alphanumerics and "-_/:.()" in encoding names (closes:

+    - Add 'man -s' as an alias for 'man -S' (closes: #458499).
+    - 'man -l' guesses language based on absolute path to provided file,

+  * Policy version 3.7.3:

+man-db (2.5.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * New upstream release.
+    - Remove /usr/X11R6/man from MANDATORY_MANPATH (closes: #413349).
+    - man now supports the MANPAGER environment variable, overriding PAGER.
+    - Resolve ambiguous error message when asking for a nonexistent manual
+      page that might also be a section name (closes: #421481).
+    - MANSEC -> MANSECT in German man(1) and catman(8) (closes: #430635).
+    - Truncate apropos/whatis output to the terminal width by default
+      (closes: #411721).
+    - lexgrog now ignores alleged manual page names containing spaces, as
+      these usually indicate parsing errors or ill-formed NAME sections and
+      they clutter up apropos output badly.
+    - Discard stderr from formatting processes when outputting to a pager,
+      to avoid visual corruption from any error messages (closes: #372939).
+    - Disallow sectional extensions of alphabetic sections, e.g. n and l
+      from the default configuration (closes: #391977), and sectional
+      extensions beginning with a digit (closes: #421481).
+    - Suppress warnings in --quiet mode (closes: #348008, #378428, #411220;
+      also closes: #334280 since that suggestion is no longer relevant).
+    - If MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING is set in the environment, don't strip
+      formatting characters with col (closes: #340673).
+    - Implement and use a decompression library. This allows cat pages to be
+      saved in the background while the pager is active (closes: #18452) and
+      operation with a read-only /tmp (closes: #165499).
+    - Add a configuration file flag (NOCACHE) to disable cat page caching
+      (closes: #196642).
+    - Add output keys to a hashtable, and skip any that have already been
+      seen (closes: #259338).
+    - Execute system utilities by command name rather than by full path
+      (closes: #385651).
+    - Add apropos -a/--and option to display only items matching all
+      keywords (closes: #259340).
+    - Adjust Finnish translation of "No manual entry for %s"
+      (closes: #320108).
+    - Create and use databases for non-English manual hierarchies
+      (closes: #29448, #281811).
+    - Improve per-locale directory handling. Directories such as "fr.UTF-8"
+      may be used for occasions when it is appropriate to specify the
+      character set but not the country, and so a full locale name is
+      inconvenient.
+    - There is a new "manconv" program which can try multiple possible
+      encodings for a file, thus allowing UTF-8 manual pages to be installed
+      in any directory even without an explicit encoding declaration.
+    - Don't escape the hierarchy path while globbing; it isn't necessary and
+      it causes problems for paths containing metacharacters
+      (closes: #444187).
+  * Use new configure options for external programs rather than hardcoding
+    them in configure.ac.
+  * Remove code in debian/rules to fiddle manual page paths for Debian,
+    since the default of $LL.UTF-8 is now reasonable. (An
+    announcement/discussion about what other Debian packages should do will
+    be forthcoming shortly.)
+  * Build-depend on zlib1g-dev so that we use zlib rather than gzip to
+    decompress gzipped manual pages.

+man-db (2.4.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * New upstream release.
+    - Revamped locale support.
+      + The encoding of source manual pages is no longer considered to be
+        related to the encoding of the input passed to *roff or to *roff's
+        terminal output device. iconv pipes are inserted where necessary to
+        convert between encodings.
+      + Avoid using -Tlatin1 in locales that don't support it, like C and
+        *.ISO-8859-2 (closes: #163983, #168442).
+    - 'man ./foo.1' behaves much more like 'man -l foo.1' (closes: #170512).
+    - Directories found in strange places in manual hierarchies don't crash
+      mandb (closes: #176645).
+    - Clarify 'man -Tdevice' syntax in man(1) (closes: #186806).
+    - Add -C switch to use a different configuration file (closes: #176522).
+    - mandb now knows how to purge removed stray cat pages from the database
+      (closes: #143632).
+  * Climb off the Berkeley DB version treadmill and use GDBM instead, whose
+    version churn is a lot less frequent, and which is smaller and more
+    appropriate to the use man-db makes of its databases (closes: #177176).
+  * debian/postinst: Remove old index.bt databases from /var/cache/man.
+  * debian/copyright: Remove outdated claim to be a native package (thanks,
+    Petr Hudec). Various other updates and corrections.
+  * debian/changelog: Correct date of second-earliest entry (thanks again,

+      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

+    - Avoid over-enthusiastic access() check on stdin, so that 'man -X -l -'

+      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

+man-db (2.3.19-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * The "laptop envy (damn tbm for having a nicer one than me)" release.
+
+  * New upstream release. Highlights:
+    - Security fix: make sure decisions about whether to drop privileges are
+      never taken based on the user configuration file ~/.manpath.
+    - The ordering of manual sections is now configurable at run-time, using
+      SECTION directives in the configuration file. This should kill the
+      last traces of the old 9term(1) bug (closes: #3766, yay!).
+    - man will no longer try to keep its database caches up to date, even if
+      it's setuid. No more speed problems, we hope! Instead, it will fall
+      back to file globbing if database lookups fail. Whatis references will
+      no longer work if the database isn't up to date enough to contain
+      them, but I filed bugs on all packages this affects a while ago.
+    - The globbing is done per-section, so newly installed manual pages will
+      be noticed properly now (closes: #10106).
+    - Thanks to some code from another man program, manual pages are now
+      formatted to an appropriate line length when viewed on a terminal.
+      Non-standard sizes aren't saved as cat pages. Page lengths are already
+      resized with recent versions of groff (closes: #25410, #53993).
+    - mandb(8) now documents how whatis parsing might fail (closes: #77727).
+    - Whatis parsing treats fill requests correctly (closes: #97916) and
+      ignores the no-op groff request '.' (closes: #101330).
+    - Avoid infinite recursion if the database is corrupted such that an
+      entry points to itself, which I believe shouldn't happen any more
+      anyway (closes: #102181).
+    - Let mandb update system databases as root as well as the man user
+      (closes: #102250).
+    - Downgrade warning if a manpath element doesn't exist to a debugging
+      message (closes: #102402); likewise for the warning about relying on
+      whatis refs being deprecated (see #102678).
+    - Fixed some details of parsing NAME sections with multiple names in man
+      pages with multiple symlinks to them (closes: #102678).
+    - mandb knows how to delete obsolete entries from the database now,
+      which should help to clean up the effects of old bugs like the above.
+      This can be disabled with --no-purge.
+
+  * Add Spanish debconf translation (thanks, Carlos Valdivia Yagüe;
+    closes: #102156).
+  * Add 'mandb --no-purge' invocation in cron.daily, so that apropos and
+    whatis will continue to work mostly as expected. Since --create isn't
+    used any more, it should be quite fast. This should alleviate most
+    problems caused by turning off automatic database updates. A cron.weekly
+    entry remains which also purges old database entries.
+  * Add SECTION entries for 3pm and 3perl to make sure Perl modules come
+    before core (this was formerly set at compile-time).
+  * The .deb doesn't contain setuid binaries any more, so remove the lintian
+    overrides.

+
+  * So, I flame Peter T. Breuer on Usenet for his bug report being several
+    bugs rolled up into one and being full of flamage itself. Then I think,
+    well, since I'm ranting about it, I may as well see if I can fix it. Of
+    course, it now turns out that fixing that was key to a load of other
+    bugs. So I apologize to Peter and promise, again, to write the code
+    before spouting off in future. :)
+  * If opening a database or a cat page fails due to a lack of permissions
+    (e.g. a read-only partition), recover gracefully and only complain about
+    it in debug mode (addresses part of bug #47000).
+  * Improved documentation of MANDB_MAP directives in /etc/manpath.config
+    (addresses the other part of that bug, so closes: #47000).
+
+  * Once man and mandb don't complain about certain classes of permission
+    problems, it becomes easy to install them non-setuid. Since in this mode
+    man can't write cat pages or update the database on the fly, non-setuid
+    is the default but a debconf question asks whether to install them
+    setuid. I hope this meets the concerns about man-db's security policy
+    (closes: #42128).
+  * As well as the above, the recent security updates should have made sure
+    that man and mandb drop privileges at the right times, and so can read
+    privately-owned directories (closes: #42479, #42791).
+  * In non-setuid mode there's no need to use the root-squashing wrapper.
+    I'm not going to close related bugs yet, as they're still present for
+    those who install setuid; I still intend to split the setuid stuff out
+    into a separate process and remove the wrapper entirely.
+  * The postinst and cron.weekly now explicitly su to man to run mandb,
+    since the wrapper might not be present.
+  * If searching for a page in the database returns no output, check the
+    filesystem anyway, as the database might not be up to date.
+
+  * Tidied up parsing of multiple whatis keys in .SH NAME sections, so that
+    each separate name gets assigned its own whatis entry correctly.
+    Separating items in the NAME section with newlines remains unsupported,
+    as at the moment man pages can get away with spreading their whatis
+    description over multiple lines and I'd rather not break them
+    gratuitously. However, multiple items will be recognized (and have been
+    for a long time, albeit brokenly up to now) if they are separated by a
+    .br (break) request. *roff doesn't normally do much with newlines in the
+    middle of paragraphs in its input, so this is consistent. See bug #97916

+  * Don't run configure in the clean rule, and ignore errors due to not

+  * Bumped database format version to 2.3.2. This really should have been
+    done a long time ago.
+  * If database information is found to be in an old format, then ignore it

+  * All hail debootstrap for making the testing above so painless!
+
+  * Taught lexgrog how to detect grap and vgrind. Preprocessor lines (with

+    good practice to declare what preprocessors your man page needs if it
+    uses any - even tbl - for compatibility with older versions of man.
+  * History updates for the man pages.
+  * Made accessdb check for /var/cache/man in preference to /var/catman, and
+    updated the man page accordingly. (Incidentally, I'd have preferred it
+    if the Japanese translator hadn't improvised text that wasn't in the
+    English version, as now I don't know how to update it to keep up with
+    this change. Please don't do this in future.)
+  * Fixed the --test option to mandb (it really doesn't alter existing

+    it for lintian checks now, if need be (closes: #5360).
+  * Generate a warning if displaying a page requires going through a whatis
+    reference with no link in the filesystem. Supporting this is necessarily

+  * I noticed a stray /etc/cron.weekly/catman on my system. Although it was
+    definitely from this package, I can't quite work out from the changelog
+    when it was removed. At any rate, it's obsolete, so clean it up.
+  * Removed a spurious space in accessdb's usage output.
+  * whatis/apropos: Complain and exit immediately if a key in the database
+    is missing its value, indicating database corruption. Also disable
+    optimized btree walk for now, as seq() seems to be more tolerant of this
+    than get() for reasons I haven't tracked down yet (closes: #95052).

+man-db (2.3.17.1-3) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Move the wrapper from /usr/bin/man-wrapper to /usr/lib/man-db/wrapper,
+    since there's no reason to execute it directly. This also means we can
+    lose man-wrapper(1), which wasn't terribly informative anyway.
+  * Make "bad symlink" output quieter (2.3.17.1-1 made it noisier by
+    mistake).
+  * Use the latin1 character set again for the C and POSIX locales.
+  * Updated Japanese translations (thanks, UCHIDA Norihiro; closes: #76774).
+    The ja_JP.ujis directory is still present, as a Debian diff can't remove
+    it. I'll remove it in the next upstream release.
+  * The order of locale variable checking was corrected some time ago by
+    calling setlocale(LC_ALL, ""). Added support for the case where
+    LC_MESSAGES is set differently from other categories, and for selecting
+    multiple locale preferences with LANGUAGE (thanks, Claudio S. Suarez
+    Sanchez and Tomohiro KUBOTA; closes: #40743).
+  * Correct first line of /etc/manpath.config (closes: #94090).
+  * Make /etc/manpath.config a dpkg-handled conffile and dispose of the hack
+    to convert old configuration files to the FHS.
+    /usr/share/man-db/chconfig is still there if people want to use it.
+  * util-linux (essential) has provided /usr/bin/pager since version 2.7.1-1
+    in September 1997. I think we can safely assume it's there now.
+  * Don't preserve the configure script any more; just generate it each
+    time. It should go in the next upstream tarball.
+  * Updated --version output, and fixed configure to find the version number
+    properly.

+    avoid a massive diff (closes: #90302 again).
+  * Just update the database in cron.weekly rather than creating it from
+    scratch. If the database format changes, the postinst will sort it out;
+    if the database becomes corrupt, you're going to want to fix it more
+    quickly than next week anyway (closes: #39842).

+man-db (2.3.17.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * New maintainer. Fabrizio, may the road rise up to meet you.
+  * Might as well acknowledge my NMUs (closes: #41915, #60084, #60867;
+    closes: #61198, #71797, #71932, #72292, #76107, #78086, #83019, #84128;
+    closes: #84334, #84926, #85049, #85314, #85421, #85463, #85812, #86108;
+    closes: #86892, #87195, #87420, #87541).
+
+  * Converted to debhelper, and otherwise substantially rewrote the build
+    process. debian/{p.skeleton,policy,source-depends} are gone, and
+    debian/conffiles too as debhelper v3 handles that.
+  * Unfortunately, much of the debian/ directory was in the upstream
+    tarball, and dpkg-source ignores deletions. To get around this, I made a
+    new "upstream" tarball, which is identical to 2.3.17 except without the
+    debianization (hence the sub-sub-minor revision).
+  * debian/rules:
+    - Preserve ownership and permissions while copying files in the clean
+      target to avoid inadvertent root ownership (closes: #90302).
+    - Really set LDFLAGS, and pass it at the build stage rather than in
+      configure so that I can get unstripped binaries easily.
+    - DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=debug was broken due to missing quotes. Fixed.
+  * debian/{pre,post}{inst,rm}:
+    - Reformatted somewhat and removed things debhelper does already.
+    - Removed call to update-menus in postrm.
+    - Only rebuild the database when the database format has changed or the
+      database is missing, and only remove catpages on purge. Hacked preinst
+      to deal with old packages' postrms removing catpages unconditionally.
+    - No need to su to run mandb; man-wrapper will sort that out.
+    - Clean up a cron job left around from the old man package in rex
+      (closes: #67000).
+  * Updated policy version to 3.5.2: no changes required.
+  * Depend on bsdmainutils rather than just suggesting it. Users might
+    legitimately want stray cats (pages, that is ...) on their system, even
+    if they aren't installed by Debian packages (closes: #64183).
+  * Added lintian overrides (setuid-binary /usr/lib/man-db/{man,mandb} 4755
+    man/root).
+  * Clarified manpage.example (thanks, Kevin Ryde; closes: #52525).
+
+  * Call setlocale() with LC_ALL rather than LC_MESSAGES (patch from GOTO
+    Masanori; closes: #75559). If somebody with experience of locale
+    programming could tell me whether the patch in #40743 makes sense, it
+    would be much appreciated.
+  * The Perl maintainer is putting core Perl module man pages in the .3perl
+    namespace, so that should follow .3pm (to allow vendor pages to shadow
+    core). Added that to include/manconfig.h.in.
+  * Significantly improved man's behaviour when new packages are installed
+    and it decides to rescan the man hierarchies. Its logic for working out
+    what pages it had seen before and put in its database didn't quite cope
+    with symlinks, so every link to undocumented(7) and so on got rescanned
+    and gunzipped. Fixed the logic in all but pathological cases (.so links
+    to symlinks, say, but Don't Do That Then). If a lot of manual pages have
+    been changed recently, it still reads them all, but this should be a lot
+    less painful now.

+man-db (2.3.17-3.2) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * Non-maintainer upload.
+  * Quieten cron.weekly again. Even if I'd remembered --quiet, it will still
+    report real errors in the man page hierarchy, such as broken symlinks;
+    there are quite a lot of those in Debian right now, and it isn't
+    important enough to mail root about it every week (will reopen #28828,
+    but closes: #87541).
+  * Change to the root directory so cron.daily doesn't get "Permission
+    denied" (closes: #87195, #87694).
+  * More *roff and /dev/null fixes in configure. This one restores the
+    mandoc macros so that PostScript output looks sensible again
+    (closes: #87420).
+  * Build-depend on grap and vgrind so we always get paths to them.
+  * Improved description of -M option in man page (closes: #71932).
+  * Corrected a couple of "it's" -> "its" typos.
+  * The FHS transition took place almost two years ago, but the code for
+    updating manpath.config is still around. The configuration file is now
+    only updated when the previous version of man-db was earlier than
+    2.3.10-69j, and config_md5 is no longer dynamically updated in

+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.

+  * tired of people continously complaining that man behaves differently

+    or four manpages that do not take the burden to declare their
+    dependency on the tbl formatter (usually because upstream uses
+    RedHat and so ...). Now what would I do if someone fill a bug
+    against this because of wasting of CPU cicles for un-necessary
+    filtering on the hundreds of pages that do not need tbl? I would
+    certainly agree with them. Therefore I will fix this introducing
+    scanning of manpages a la grog in mandb, and storing the result in
+    the database.  ...[noise of hacking and debugging]...  Well, I did
+    it (use accessdb to see it!). It took 4 weekend (stolen to the
+    implementation of man 2.4) to complete and debug. Now you can
+    announce the world that man-db 2.3.17 knows in advance which filters
+    to run when processing a manpage which is in the database.

+  * removed setuid permissions from file in tarball, as postinst handle
+    them properly. Closes #32213.
+  * changed the copyright file to point out that the author has passed
+    maintainership. Also changed location of his ftp site.
+    closes #41737, #30153.
+  * found (and fixed) nasty bug in reading config file that
+    segfaulted on too large files. Now stops reading and procede.
+  * Added japanese support. Thanx to Taketoshi
+    Sano <sano@debian.org> and Fumitoshi UKAI <ukai@debian.or.jp>.
+    Closes: Bug#38107.
+  * partially eliminated feature to display file when manpage is
+    not found, limiting it only when the argument is a pathname
+    containing the character '/'.
+    closes: #41205, #41715, #45979.
+  * created perl script /usr/lib/man-db/chconfig that scans the
+    file in argument (the man confile) and upgrade it to FHS.
+    Its call from postinst is checked also against perl presence.
+  * removed /etc/manpath.config from conffiles;
+    added in postinst automatic copy of it if the existing one isn't
+    being modified, or using the new script to validate it and upgrade
+    to FHS. Treat correctly absence of the config file (??) and allow
+    insertion of keyword NOFHS in /etc/manpath.config to avoid its
+    update.
+  * added list of md5sums from previous conffiles, to help detect
+    unmodified ones. Added to rules file the automatic adding of
+    a new md5 if a new conffile is created.
+    (so maintainers don't have to maintain it)

+     TODO:

+     $MANPATH management; trailing or leading spare semicolon make add
+     the manpath derived from config files to the content of the var. A
+     double semicolon in the middle of the var makes insertion of the
+     rules derived into the var.
+   * added management of a user conf file ~/.manpath , with the same
+     syntax of /etc/manpath.conf, whose content is added to the default
+     conf file. It remains to be demonstrated if handling of cache works
+     as expected in all cases.
+     This enhancement, binded with the previous one, gives users

+     needed out of Linux, in other OSes.
+  * In man-db -69d:
+   * Wrong change in manpath.config: it built two indexes for /usr/man

+      * user's changes need manual update.
+      * absolutely DON'T SYMLINK /usr/man !! Otherways you'll get double
+        entries in the database.
+      * removed FSSTND keyword from manpath.conf and its handling in the
+        code, as it was a hack messing up names.
+    - start installing manpages in /usr/share/man
+      Don't worry about old packages installing into /usr/man .

+   * Modifyed apropos (and man -k ) behaviour to make -r option the
+     default, even in absence of the env POSIXLY_CORRECT.
+     Added option -e (--exact ) to permit the previous behaviour,
+     when the keywords match only full words in the descriptions.
+     Modifyed the usage of man and apropos.
+     Need to modify the manpages and the manual.
+     Thanx to Ian Jackson who posted the suggestion eons ago.
+     (should fix: #3788 )
+  * TODO:
+   * To fix bug #5360 (which is not a bug in man-db) I want to create
+     a manpage installer program that checks all the common errors
+     in manpages like broken symlinks, wrong section, wrong location,
+     missing of preprocessor directive in the first line and missing
+     of .SH NAME section.
+     This installer should also execute mandb to update the database (as
+     when man -u is issued), as the automatic detection of new manpages
+     doesn't work in case of multiple pages with the same name in
+     different sections (#10106).  This update should be done in
+     background after dpkg has finished.
+   * to fix bug #3766 ("man" acting too smart) I need to take out of the
+     sources the list of sections, and put it into the configuration
+     file. This is not trivial, as the list is dinamic, but mandb scans
+     all the pages in the system to collect descriptions, so I can use
+     that code to collect the list of sections, order it and write it
+     somewhere (=/var/cache/man/sections). Then man sources the list.
+   * I need to add an option to show the order in which sections are
+     processed while searching for a page. Actually this list is
+     hardwired in the source code. It should be in the config file AND
+     dinamically extended by mandb (which finds new sections). Splitting
+     the config file into a directory would improve this? Yes.
+   * For bug #11848 I should download glib sources, apply patches and
+     then look into "locale" source code to see how and from where it
+     takes the informations printed in line 'ctype-codeset-name' when I
+     issue the command 'locale -k LC_CTYPE'; then reproduce this inside
+     man.c and check the result. --ascii option should be assumed for
+     ISO8859 different from -0, -1, -3, -7, -9 .

+man-db (2.3.10-30) unstable; urgency=low
+
+    * Installed german manpages and message catalogs.
+    * In postinst added search for languages installed to build catmans
+       also for them.
+    * Added /usr/sbin/chmanconfig, a perl script that updates
+       /etc/manpath.conf for the listed language, and calls mkcatdirs to
+       update the catdir hierarchy.
+       This is to be used by packages that install translated manpages.
+    * Closes Bug#5977: (strange bug in man causes magically unpredictable
+       manpage ?) due to change in database library and my inability to
+       reproduce this behaviour.

+       (and is used in postinst) to build the catman hierarchy
+       that now is made on the fly instead than burn in the package.
+       Modifyed to make also main catdirs (not only subdirs)
+    * preinst and postrm both remove the whole catman hierarchy.

+Template: man-db/install-setuid
+Type: boolean
+Default: false
+_Description: Should man and mandb be installed 'setuid man'?
+ The man and mandb program can be installed with the set-user-id bit set, so
+ that they will run with the permissions of the 'man' user. This allows
+ ordinary users to benefit from the caching of preformatted manual pages
+ ('cat pages'), which may aid performance on slower machines.
+ .
+ Cached man pages only work if you are using an 80-column terminal, to avoid
+ one user causing cat pages to be saved at widths that would be inconvenient
+ for other users. If you use a wide terminal, you can force man pages to be
+ formatted to 80 columns anyway by setting MANWIDTH=80.
+ .
+ Enabling this feature may be a security risk, so it is disabled by default.
+ If in doubt, you should leave it disabled.
+
+Template: man-db/auto-update
+Type: boolean
+Default: true
+Description: for internal use; can be preseeded
+ If true, automatically rebuild man-db's database when packages containing
+ manual pages are installed.
