[ubuntu/jaunty] man-db 2.5.3-1 (Accepted)

[Ubuntu Installer]

man-db (2.5.3-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
    - Cleaned up a number of possible crashes, memory leaks, and missing
      error checks found by the Coverity Scan project.
    - The LANGUAGE environment variable is now tokenised properly, rather
      than only taking the first two characters of each element.
    - man now correctly propagates the exit code of whatis or apropos when
      called with the -f or -k option respectively (closes: #477305).
    - Fix several manual page synopsis problems (thanks, Yuri Kozlov;
      closes: #480678, #481226, #482424, #482791, #482792, #482810, #483589,
      #483862, #483951).
    - Reduce the number of warnings emitted when using an unrecognised
      locale (closes: #494989).
    - manconv and zsoelim are now called internally rather than by executing
      external programs, to improve performance.
    - Manual pages may now be compressed with LZMA (although this is
      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
      locale if the former is set, in addition to the language and
      territory.
    - Bare .so includes (e.g. ".so foo.1" rather than ".so man1/foo.1") now
      work, although only within the same manual page hierarchy for now
      (partially fixes #503472).
  * Add Homepage field.
  * Policy version 3.8.0: no changes required.
  * Pass CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to configure rather than make so that we don't
    have to keep up with the set of warnings that configure decides to
    enable.
