Bug#241679: Unfinished sentence in apt user guide.
Package: apt-doc
Version: 0.5.24
Severity: minor
File apt-doc/guide.html/ch2.html contains the following two sentences:
"Dist-upgrade is a complete upgrader designed to simplify upgrading between
releases of Debian. It uses a sophisticated algorithm to determine the best
set of packages to install, upgrade and remove to get as much of the system
to the newest release."
The second of these sentences is incomplete. The "as" requires some phrase like
"as possible" to finish it off cleanly.
But who knows - a dedicated Debian guru, or apt-get a year from now, might be
able to do an even better job. So "as possible" solves the grammatical problem,
but at the expense of correctness.
Personally, I would like to see this last part of this sentence:
"... to get most, if not all, of the system to the newest release."
Regards, and thanks for providing fine documentation
