small patch to fix typos in apt documentation.
Hey,
I'm not sure if you want this Jason, or if I should have just forwarded it
to the maintainer. This patch fixes a few typos in the
apt-0.3.19/doc/guide.sgml file.
I'll be going over some of the other documentation as well. If I find
anything else in the documentation, should I just forward it to the
maintainer or do you think the authors would like a copy as well?
Thanks
Chris
