man-pages-6.9 had a broken link page: FICLONERANGE.2 pointed to a
nonexistent page.  Thus, here's:

	man-pages-6.9.1 - manual pages for GNU/Linux

Tarball download:
<https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/>
Git repository:
<https://git.kernel.org/cgit/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/>
Online PDF book:

You are receiving this message either because:

        a)  (BCC) You contributed to the content of this release.

        b)  You are subscribed to <linux-man@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,
            <linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, or
            <libc-alpha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.

        c)  I have information (possibly inaccurate) that you are the
            maintainer of a translation of the manual pages, or are the
            maintainer of the manual pages set in a particular
            distribution, or have expressed interest in helping with
            man-pages maintenance, or have otherwise expressed interest
            in being notified about man-pages releases.
            If you don't want to receive such messages from me, or you
            know of some other translator or maintainer who may want to
            receive such notifications, send me a message.

This was broken.  And now I realize that the changelog didn't document
the rename from ioctl_ficlonerange.2 => FICLONE.2const.  The script I
wrote didn't handle renames.  I'll fix the changelog later (but not
include it in a bugfix release, since that's not critical).

Have a lovely day!
