Bug#551440: showauto incorrectly described in apt-mark(8)?



Package: apt
Version: 0.7.23.1
Severity: minor


apt-mark(8) says that showauto is used to print a list of *manually*
installed packages.  If this is true, it's confusing, because then the
command should be called showmanual, not showauto.

But looking at the output of showauto on my host, it appears that this
does indeed print the list of automatically installed packages.  So
the word "manually" should be replaced by "automatically" in
apt-mark(8).

Thanks,
Andrew.
