Bug#876215: linux-base: typo in linux-update-symlinks.1
Package: linux-base
Version: 4.5
Tags: patch
I wanted to get rid of the /vmlinuz and /initrd symlinks. It took me a
while to find out that they are managed by linux-update-symlinks, and
then a trivial but crucial typo in the manpage did cost me even more
time to figure out that the parameter I needed to set is called
do_symlinks rather than no_symlinks. Patch attached.
