I've released man-db 2.9.3.

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
==================

Fixes:
------

* Fix "man -X75-12" and "man -X100-12" to set the document font size
  (using "-rS12") as well as the device (using "-TX75-12" or
  "-TX100-12").

* Fix incompatibility of "man -X" and friends with the seccomp
  sandbox.

Improvements:
-------------

* Add a bug tracker link to man-db's own manual pages.

* Add support for zstd-compressed manual pages, thanks to Bernhard
  Rosenkränzer.

For full details, please see the ChangeLog file in the source
distribution.
