- Update to 2.12.0:
* Fix some manual page portability issues with groff 1.23.0.
* Fix test failures when a working `iconv` is not available.
* Ensure that timestamps read from the database can go past the year 2038,
even on systems where this is not the default.
* Fix `manpath` not parsing `PATH` entries with trailing slash correctly
for guessing `MANPATH` entries.
* More accurately document the behaviour of passing file names as arguments
to `man` without the `-l`/`--local-file` option.
* Avoid duplicate cleanup of old cat pages by both `man-db.service` and
`systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service`.
Improvements:
* Update system call lists in `seccomp` sandbox from `systemd`.
* Upgrade to Gnulib `stable-202307`.
* Work around the Firebuild accelerator in `seccomp` sandbox: if this is in
use then we need to allow some socket-related system calls.
* `man -K` now deduplicates search results that point to the same page.
* Warn if `mandb` drops to `--user-db` mode due to running as the wrong
user.
* Change section title recommendations in `man(1)` to mention `STANDARDS`
rather than `CONFORMING TO`, in line with `man-pages(7)`.
* Add a `STANDARDS` section to `man(1)` itself.
* Document that `man -K` may suffer from false negatives as well as false
positives.
* Take advantage of newer `groff` facilities to implement `man
--no-hyphenation` and `man --no-justification`, if available.
* `man -f` and `man -k` now pass any `-r`/`--regex` or `-w`/`--wildcard`
options on to `whatis` and `apropos` respectively.
* Always pass a line length to `nroff`, even if we believe that it matches
the default.

Remove harden_man-db.service.patch as already done upstream

- Add man-propose-online.patch: if patch was not found locally, propose to read it online, offering a URL where it could possibly be found. If the man page exists/is installed, we show the man page, otherwise propose an URL where it might exist online (no remote check if the man page exists... that would be too complex imho)

- update to 2.10.2:
* Regenerating man-db's build system now explicitly requires Automake >=
1.14. (This was already the case since at least man-db 2.10.0, but was
previously undocumented.)
* Make `man -H` sleep for a few seconds after starting the browser, since
it may background itself before loading files (Dr. Werner Fink).
* If an override directory is configured using `--with-override-dir`, it is
now applied more consistently when building the manpath, and whether a
page was found in an override directory is considered when sorting
candidates for display (Mihail Konev).
* Make the man-db manual build reproducible.
* Add some hardening options to the `systemd` service.
* `configure` now has a `--with-snapdir` option, for use on systems where
`snapd` is configured to use a directory other than `/snap`.
* Fix occasional `mandb-symlink-target-timestamp` test failure.
* Fix inadvertent reliance on a GCC extension that caused build failures
with Clang.
* Fix building without `iconv`.
- drop man-db-2.7.1-firefox.dif (upstream)
