man-db 2.6.6-1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

man-db (2.6.6-1) unstable; urgency=medium


  * New upstream release:
    - Reimplement 'apropos --and' in a way that works with the optimisations
      introduced in 2.6.2 (closes: #678670).
    - Clarify that whatis displays one-line descriptions, rather than e.g.
      the contents of DESCRIPTION sections (closes: #713992).
    - Downgrade EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK errors from attempts to open a database
      read-write to debug messages (closes: #684235).
  * Switch to git (thanks to reposurgeon for helping with the tricky
    stitching involved); adjust Vcs-* fields.
  * Policy version 3.9.5: no changes required.
  * Set VERBOSE=1 when running tests so that Automake will print test logs
    on failure.

man-db: on-line manual pager

 This package provides the man command, the primary way of examining the
 on-line help files (manual pages). Other utilities provided include the
 whatis and apropos commands for searching the manual page database, the
 manpath utility for determining the manual page search path, and the
 maintenance utilities mandb, catman and zsoelim. man-db uses the groff
 suite of programs to format and display the manual pages.
