- Ah ... yes, manual pages are also provides by e.g. mandoc
- Skip %verify(not link mtime) from symbolic links %_bindir even if
those should not hurt but avoid superfluous verify messages
- Minor corrections on %ghost /var/cache/man and link to apropos
- Use update-alternatives to allow that man(1), apropos(1), whatis(1)
can be overwritten by an other package like mandoc
- Reintroduce wrapper for man(1) but without mapping to user man to
be able to reset the PATH to the standard for any preprocessor

- Update to man-db 2.8.4
* Major changes since man-db 2.8.3:
+ Rely on decompressors reading from their standard input rather
than redundantly passing them the input file on their command
line. This works better with downstream AppArmor confinement of
decompressors.
+ Fix invalid syntax in tmpfiles.d/man-db.conf when configured with
--disable-cache-owner.
+ Make seccomp sandbox allow sched_getaffinity, sometimes used by
xz.
+ Check for mandb_nfmt and mandb_tfmt in the manual page hierarchy
as documented, not in the current directory. This was broken by
the working-directory-handling changes in 2.8.3. Note that this
change means that "man -l" will never use an external formatter
(which was never documented behaviour and was surely a bad idea).
+ Make seccomp sandbox allow some shared memory operations across
the board rather than just when ESET File Security is in use; the
Astrill VPN seems to require something similar, and there are
doubtless other such preload hacks.
+ Some versions of ESET File Security call msgget and msgsnd; if
this program is in use, then allow those.
* Major changes since man-db 2.8.2:
+ Make seccomp sandbox allow madvise, since that's used by lbzip2.
+ Make seccomp sandbox allow kill and tgkill outright, since groff
uses kill to pass on signals to its child processes.
+ Make seccomp sandbox allow sibling architectures on
x86/x86_64/x32, since people sometimes mix and match architectures
there for performance reasons.
+ Fix version check in locale macro loading to tolerate groff
release candidates.

- Add man-db-create.service to fill /var/cache/man at bootup
if the directory is empty (required by FHS and for transactional
updates).
- Don't fill /var/cache/man if it does not exist yet (needed for
transactional updates).
- We don't need to package /var/cache/man, systemd-tmpfiles is
creating it already for us.
- Make /var/cache/man a real directory as in system-user-man the

- Update to version 2.7.6
* Many bug fixes
* man understands the <page>.<section> form on its command line,
so for example 'man chmod.2' is now the same as 'man 2 chmod'
(Contributed by Mihail Konev)
* Document that 'man -K' searches page source, not rendered text
- Rename patch man-db-2.7.1.dif which becomes man-db-2.7.6.dif
- Port the patches
man-MAN_POSIXLY_CORRECT-man1.dif
man-db-2.6.3-chinese.dif
man-db-2.6.3-listall.dif
man-db-2.6.3-section.dif
man-db-2.7.1-firefox.dif
man-db-2.7.1-security4.dif
man-db-2.7.1-zio.dif
- Add an rpmlintrc file man-rpmlintrc as we apply a patch
on generated manual pages
- Do not wrap man anymore (boo#986211)

- Own /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d if not owned by package filesystem
- Update to version 2.7.1
For the first time since version 2.4.0, the database format has
changed slightly, so you will need to run 'mandb --create' after
installing the new version to rebuild your databases from scratch.
- Fixes
* 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.
* Be more careful to avoid using or double-closing closed database
handles. Fixes test suite failures on some systems.
* Patch the fdutimens function imported from Gnulib to work around a
libc bug in GNU/Hurd.
* Fix test suite in the case where the system supports
high-precision timestamps but the file system containing the build
directory does not.
* lexgrog now filters terminal escape sequences out of cat pages
before trying to parse them.
* Tools that consider the terminal line length now prioritise the
COLUMNS environment variable above the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl.
* Manpath elements are no longer canonicalised before being inserted
into the search path; this caused the use of incorrect catpaths in
some cases. This was broken by the LANGUAGE-handling fixes in
2.5.4.
* Remove test suite dependency on realpath(1).
* Fix a test failure when configured with --enable-undoc.
