[ubuntu/lucid] man-db 2.5.7-1 (Accepted)

[Ubuntu Installer]

man-db (2.5.7-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - Make man(1) refer to the "Warnings" node in 'info groff' for a list of
      available warning names (closes: #545805).
    - Don't run tests if cross-compiling.
    - Add option to disable justification (closes: #440047).
    - Do what the user probably means when the full path to an executable is
      given as an argument (closes: #505465).
    - Search man<sec><ext> directories in the GNU layout (closes: #519807).
    - Prefer getting a page from the best manual section over getting a page
      in the correct language; I have my reservations about this, but it
      seems to be what people are requesting (closes: #519547).
    - '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
      used in place of the -d/--debug option. This is useful in some
      situations where a program is being called deep in a process tree.
    - Fix off-by-one error when write returns EAGAIN (thanks, Samuel
      Thibault; closes: #564818).
    - "%s: nothing appropriate." is an error; write it to stderr, not stdout
      (closes: #565255).
    - Don't bother printing error messages for SIGINT and SIGQUIT, since
      these correspond to explicit user actions (closes: #568000).
    - Fix sense of directory check while decompressing (closes: #537434).
    - Always save cat pages in UTF-8 (closes: #446741).
  * Convert to source format 3.0 (quilt).
