man-db 2.5.5 changes:

I've released man-db 2.5.5.

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 ------------------

This is a quick bug-fix release to correct handling of non-default encodings specified in manual pages' preprocessor lines, and to correct an uninitialised variable noticed by Dustin Marquess that could lead to excessive memory allocation and possible crashes. Changes relative to 2.5.4 are otherwise minimal.

Signoff x86_64. Daniel
