Adolf Belka 7bff30a8ba man: Update to version 2.11.2 ...

- Update from version 2.10.2 to 2.11.2
- Update of rootfile
- Changelog
man-db 2.11.2 (8 January 2023)
	Fixes:
	 * Fix compile and test failures when `troff` is not `groff`.
	 * Fix segfault in typical uses of `man` when `nroff` is not installed.
	 * Fix crash in `mandb` when processing stray cats.
	Improvements:
	 * Check for stray cats even if no manual pages in a given manpath were
	   changed.
man-db 2.11.1 (15 November 2022)
	Build:
	 * Transfer Git repository to https://gitlab.com/man-db/man-db.
	Fixes:
	 * SECURITY: Replace `$` characters in page names with `?` when constructing
	   `less` prompts.
	 * Silence error message when processing an empty manual page hierarchy with
	   a nonexistent cache directory.
	 * `man(1)` now sorts whatis references below real pages, even if the whatis
	   references are from a section with higher priority.
	Improvements:
	 * Add section `3type` to the default section list just after `2`.  This is
	   used by the Linux man-pages package.
	 * Recognize more Hungarian translations of the `NAME` section.
man-db 2.11.0 (15 October 2022)
	Fixes:
	 * `mandb` now correctly records filters in the database if it uses cached
	   whatis information.
	 * Upgrade Gnulib, fixing syntax error on glibc systems with GCC 11.
	 * The `CATWIDTH` configuration file directive now overrides `MINCATWIDTH`
	   and `MAXCATWIDTH`.
	 * Database entries for links were often incorrectly stored as if they were
	   entries for the ultimate source of the page.  They are now stored with
	   the correct type.
	 * Store links in the database using the section and extension of the link
	   rather than of the ultimate source file.
	 * Consider pages for adding to the database even if they seem to already
	   exist; this performance optimization is no longer needed due to caching,
	   and it produced inconsistent results in some unusual cases.
	 * `man` now runs any required preprocessors in the same order that `groff`
	   does, rather than trusting the order of filters in a page's preprocessor
	   string.
	 * Fix building on MinGW.  (I haven't been able to test this; help from
	   MinGW experts would be welcome.)
	Improvements:
	 * Add more recognized case variants for localized versions of the `NAME`
	   section.
	 * Maintain multi keys in sorted order, improving database reproducibility.
	 * Pick a more consistent name for the target of a whatis entry in the
	   database.
	 * Extend rules for when to replace one database entry with another,
	   producing more stable behaviour.
	 * Fully reorganize databases after writing them, allowing the reproduction
	   of bitwise-identical databases regardless of scan order (at least with
	   GDBM).
