[Man-db-announce] man-db 2.8.1 released

[Colin Watson]

I've released man-db 2.8.1.

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

Fixes:
------

* Fix seccomp sandbox build on Linux/POWER.

* Fix manconv execution under seccomp when man is installed setuid.

* Make seccomp sandbox allow mremap (used by iconv, for example).

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

* configure now has a --without-libseccomp option to disable the use
  of seccomp even if the library is available.

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