I've released man-db 2.9.4.

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

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

* Recognise Romanian translations of the NAME section.

* Treat "\[en]" (etc.) as another synonym for "\-" in NAME sections,
  alongside the existing "\(en" (etc.).

Fixes:
------

* Make the seccomp sandbox work better with libcs such as musl (S.
  Gilles).

* Make the seccomp sandbox allow clock_gettime64 as well as
  clock_gettime (S. Gilles).

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