+man-db 2.8.4 (27 July 2018)
+===========================
+
+Major changes since man-db 2.8.3:
+
+       Fixes:
+       ------
+
+       * Rely on decompressors reading from their standard input rather
+         than redundantly passing them the input file on their command
+         line.  This works better with downstream AppArmor confinement of
+         decompressors.
+
+       * Fix invalid syntax in tmpfiles.d/man-db.conf when configured with
+         --disable-cache-owner.
+
+       * Make seccomp sandbox allow sched_getaffinity, sometimes used by
+         xz.
+
+       * Check for mandb_nfmt and mandb_tfmt in the manual page hierarchy
+         as documented, not in the current directory.  This was broken by
+         the working-directory-handling changes in 2.8.3.  Note that this
+         change means that "man -l" will never use an external formatter
+         (which was never documented behaviour and was surely a bad idea).
+
+       * Make seccomp sandbox allow some shared memory operations across
+         the board rather than just when ESET File Security is in use; the
+         Astrill VPN seems to require something similar, and there are
+         doubtless other such preload hacks.
+
+       * Some versions of ESET File Security call msgget and msgsnd; if
+         this program is in use, then allow those.
