Package: apt
Version: 0.5.24
Severity: minor


The apt-get manual page includes the following lines:

> SEE ALSO
>       apt-cache(8),  apt-cdrom(8),  dpkg(8),   dselect(8),   sources.list(5),
>       apt.conf(5),     apt-config(8),     The    APT    User's    guide    in
>       /usr/share/doc/apt/, apt_preferences(5), the APT Howto.

This information is somewhat misleading, presumeably outdated. Firstly, the APT User's guide resides in /usr/share/doc/apt-doc/, and secondly, it does so only after installation of the apt-doc package.

Regards, and many thanks for providing fine software
