I've released man-db 2.13.1.

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 various minor formatting issues in manual pages.
 * Tolerate additional spaces in preprocessor strings.
 * Fix check for generated source files in out-of-tree builds.
 * Fix building with the `musl` C library.

Improvements:

 * Recognize another Ukrainian translation of the `NAME` section.
 * Increase the maximum size of the `NAME` section from 8192 to 16384 bytes.

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