Update to man-pages-3.5.9.
Incorporate beta FHS. Add /usr/share/ppd, /usr/libexec, /usr/share/color, /usr/local/share/color, /var/lib/color, and /usr/share/dict. Remove overrides for /usr/libexec: coreutils, findutils, gawk, gcc, glibc, inetutils, man-db, and tar. Move grub sbin executables from /usr/sbin to /sbin. Document two new glibc errors in the regression tests. Move man-db after util-linux to satisfy a test dependency in /tools and to speed the test up. Restore building the flex static library. git-svn-id: http://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/LFS/trunk/BOOK@10469 4aa44e1e-78dd-0310-a6d2-fbcd4c07a689

+ <para>There are a couple of tests that incorrectly link to the
