Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: normal
I found some problems in the apt-cache manual page. Attached is a diff
against the current version in the CVS repository on cvs.debian.org
Changes:
* Added parameter lists to each command described in the DESCRIPTION
section
* Reference to ldso in description of showpkg not clear,
parenthesized (was it intended like this, or do I misunderstand?)
* Reference to "debconf" as a package name in stats desc did not
have quotation marks; added for consistency with nearby text
* Apparent random spillover text from showsrc description removed
* dotty description had tangled reference; rewrote to hopefully
clarify/debogosify
* Punctuation and spelling all over the place (prob'ly still missed
some egregious typos, I'm afraid)
Sorry, I'm no DocBook guru, so formatting might be strange in some
places.
The &apt-commonoptions; text is not consistent with the format used in
this file, but I couldn't figure out which should be changed. Somebody
who is more familiar with the documentation overall should perhaps
look into this.
Hope this helps,

installed prior to installing other build-dependencies. Closes: #148879
