Bug#243749: man pages are f*cking useless
Package: libarts1
Version: 1.2.2-1
Severity: normal
I am trying to debug a sound problem that has stumped everybody that's
looked at it so far. I track it down to a running "artsd" with lots of
odd-looking parameters on its command line.
Imagine my joy when the artsd man page lists nothing but "fixme" in every
paragraph and for every option. You have no idea how frustrating this is.
Why did you even bother shipping this page?
Go ahead and close this bug; nobody lazy enough to release a man page like
that is going to care enough to fix it. I just needed to rant, now that
I have to find a replacement for aRts.
