Package: glibc-doc
Version: 2.2.5-3

In the node (libc.info.gz)Variable Substitution, the exact same
variable reference -- ${foo%%r*} -- is given in the examples for %, %%,
#, and ##. Additionally, each of # and ## has the exact same last
paragraph as % or %% has, respectively. % needs a % removed from
${foo%%r*}. %% looks fine. # and ## must be fixed to say that they
match from the beginning rather than the end, and their examples must
be fixed, too.

This bug (now applying to glibc-doc-reference) seems to be silently
fixed in unstable (2.3.6-1) and experimental (2.5-1).
