Bug#193550: Documentation typo in /usr/share/doc/apt/offline.*

[Isaac Wilcox <debianbug.3.iwilcox@spamgourmet.com>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

In the files /usr/share/doc/apt/offline.*, the "Using APT on both
machines" section has a bug.  Line 173 of the plain-text version reads:

  # apt-get --no-d -o dir::etc::status=/var/lib/dpkg/status dist-upgrade
                           ^^^

but should read:

  # apt-get --no-d -o dir::state::status=/var/lib/dpkg/status dist-upgrade
                           ^^^^^

because the location of the status file is given by APT config option
Dir::State::Status as described in:
	/usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configure-index.gz
(and there is no config option Dir::Etc:Status).


Patch to the original .sgml:
