[Man-db-announce] man-db 2.6.7 released

[Colin Watson]

I've released man-db 2.6.7.

Description
-----------

man-db contains an implementation of the man command, which is 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.  The package requires a troff installation, such as groff (GNU
troff) to format and display the manual pages.

About this release
------------------

This release arranges to run the pager in man's original working
directory rather than in the manual hierarchy.  Note that this means
that man-db now requires libpipeline >= 1.3.0.

mandb now only creates a cache directory tag (CACHEDIR.TAG) if the
catpath is different from the manpath, since it should only be created
in directories that consist entirely of cached information.  Users of
backup software that honours CACHEDIR.TAG may wish to verify that this
file has not been incorrectly created in directories that contain manual
page source files.

For full details, please see the files NEWS and ChangeLog in the source
distribution.
