Changelog
man-db (2.7.6-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New upstream release:
- Note that "man -K" searches page source (closes: #813665).
- SECURITY: Eliminate dangerous setgid-root directories.
- man now understands the <page>.<section> form on its command line, so
for example 'man chmod.2' is now the same as 'man 2 chmod'.
* Adjust various bits of packaging to account for changed ownership and
permissions of /usr/bin/man, /usr/bin/mandb, and /var/cache/man.
* SECURITY: Remove recursive chown of /var/cache/man from cron.daily job,
which introduced a vulnerability and is no longer needed now that man-db
is more careful about ensuring appropriate ownership of its cache files
(closes: #840357, LP: #1482786).
