Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:6.0p1-4
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
Please excuse my english - I read a lot of English everyday but rarely
have the opportunity to write in it.
I've seen that in "man 5 moduli", the DESCRIPTION section has an error
in describing the Sophie Germain prime numbers type.
It says:
4 Sophie Germain; (p+1)*2 is also prime.
Where it should say:
4 Sophie Germain; 2p+1 is also prime.
The manual page footer says:
BSD August 29, 2013
And I've seen that this description is correct at least on BSD's man
pages web site:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=moduli
Please note that on this website the date on the man page's footer is
July 19, 2012.
I know that this is a very, very minor documentation bug but I'd like
to see it solved.
Thanks in advance
Kind regards
Nahuel

Thanks for your report. This was indeed a problem in OpenSSH 6.0, but
was fixed in 6.2, which is in testing and unstable. See #698612.
