[Man-db-announce] man-db 2.7.1 released

[Colin Watson]

I've released man-db 2.7.1.

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
------------------

Various portability fixes for Solaris, contributed by Peter Bray.

man now runs correctly when its current working directory has been
deleted.  (As a result of this fix, man-db now requires libpipeline >=
1.4.0.)

'man -a' sends its prompts to /dev/tty rather than to stderr, and
likewise reads replies from /dev/tty rather than from stdin.

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