Version 1.7.9 of Mandos is released

[Teddy Hogeborn]

Mandos 1.7.9 is released.  It is a minor bug fix release, fixing a
conflict in the Debian packages created by including the intro(8mandos)
manual page in both the server an client packages.  The manual page has
been moved back to the server package only.

For those who run both the server and the client on the same machine,
this might mean an error message ("dpkg: trying to overwrite
'/usr/share/man/man8/intro.8mandos.gz', which is also in package
mandos-client 1.7.8-1") when upgrading to 1.7.9.  It is fixed by either
installing mandos-client 1.7.9 *first* or by retrying the installation
of the mandos (server) package one extra time after the mandos-client
1.7.9 has been successfully installed.

In the previous release announcement I forgot to thank a Mandos user,
who wishes to remain anonymous, who actually figured out a fix for
Debian bug #819982 ("bad gpgme_op_decrypt: GPGME:  Decryption failed").
A refinement of this fix was included in version 1.7.8.  Thank you!

I also forgot to thank Valerio Bellizzomi <valerio at selnet.org>, who
worked with us to find some other bugs which were also fixed in the last
version, among them was the problem with using the --interface option
with Python 2.7.  Thank you!

Version 1.7.9 (2016-06-22)
* Client
** Do not include intro(8mandos) man page

There were no Debian package changes from 1.7.8.
