Comment 5 for bug 18786

man-db (2.4.4-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
    - Drop "Reformatting %s, please wait..." message (LP: #18786,
      closes: #378781).
    - Fix "gditview" typo (closes: #317696).
    - Avoid splitting up a sentence into two translatable pieces
      (closes: #320111).
    - Add Russian translation of NAME (thanks, Yuri Kozlov;
      closes: #338991).
    - Fix mistaken use of .l instead of .I (thanks, Valéry Perrin;
      closes: #349208).
    - Add Danish translation of NAME (thanks, Henning Makholm;
      closes: #353959).
    - Skip "exec" at the start of a command, to make old configuration files
      work (closes: #353959).
    - Ignore SIGPIPE in child processes (closes: #387864).
    - Fail with an error message if argv is a character or block device, as
      we may well hang trying to read from it and it almost certainly isn't
      what the caller intended anyway (closes: #341706).
    - Teach lexgrog front-end about pages with multiple name/description
      pairs (closes: #342834).
    - Fix a slew of memory leaks, including a nasty per-search leak in
      apropos (closes: #368749).
    - Add cross-references to mandb in apropos and whatis documentation
      (thanks, Phil Endecott; closes: #388755).
    - Document man -X option (thanks, Sam Morris; closes: #360112).
    - Don't try to pass -X or -P-g options to eqn, only troff
      (closes: #327772).
    - Stop claiming that -d does not display any manual pages (thanks, Dan
      Jacobson; closes: #340910).
  * Policy version 3.7.2: no changes required.
