Bug#669409: apt-get(8) manpage: wrong description of --only-upgrade



Package: apt
Version: 0.8.10.3+squeeze1
Severity: minor

Please compare those to description of apt-get(8)'s manpage:

       --no-upgrade
           Do not upgrade packages; When used in conjunction with
           install, no-upgrade will prevent packages on the command
           line from being upgraded if they are already installed.
           Configuration Item: APT::Get::Upgrade.

       --only-upgrade
           Do not install new packages; When used in conjunction
           with install, only-upgrade will prevent packages on the
           command line from being upgraded if they are not already
           installed. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Only-Upgrade.

I guess the first part of --only-upgrade's description is correct but 
everything after the semicolon is repeated from --no-upgrade. I
_guess_ the correct description would be:

           Do not install new packages; When used in conjunction
           with install, --only-upgrade will prevent new packages
           from being installed. Already installed packages will
           be upgraded. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Only-Upgrade.
