[Man-db-announce] man-db 2.5.9 released

[Colin Watson]

I've released man-db 2.5.9.

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 is a quick release to correct errors in man-db 2.5.8: some systems
encountered test failures due to excessive sensitivity to directory
ordering, and './configure --disable-nls' was broken.

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