I've released man-db 2.6.1.
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 mainly a bug-fix release, but also adds a cache directory tag to
cat directories, adds support for manual pages compressed using Lzip,
and improves compatibility with the vim viewdoc plugin.
For full details, please see the files NEWS and ChangeLog in the source
distribution.
