I've released man-db 2.8.2.
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:
------
* Make seccomp sandbox allow kill and tgkill when the signal is
directed at the current process or one of its threads; this is
needed by xz.
* Make seccomp sandbox allow ioctl(fd, TIOCGWINSZ), since that's used
by musl.
* Work around the proprietary "ESET File Security" antivirus program in
seccomp sandbox: if this is in use then we need to allow some
socket-related system calls.
* Work around the "snoopy" execve() wrapper and logger in seccomp
sandbox: if this is in use then we need to allow some
socket-related system calls.
* Interpret EFAULT from seccomp_load as meaning that seccomp is
unavailable, since this can be returned by some versions of
qemu-user.
For full details, please see the ChangeLog file in the source
distribution.
