Subject: [bug#27649] Update man-db to 2.7.6.1
Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2017 21:43:07 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170711014307.GA25070@jasmine.lan> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 437 bytes --]
This updates man-db to the latest release, 2.7.6.1.
I tested that the manual-database profile hook still works. For that, I
had to pass the new configuration option 'disable-cache-owner', or else
the test suite and manpage database generation would fail.
See this commit for more info (Separate cache owner from --enable-setuid
option):
