Bug#1105169: reprepro: Multiple typos in man page documentation for "wrongdistribution"

Show all headers | View raw

Package: reprepro
Version: 5.4.7-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

The "wrongdistribution (safe to ignore)" section in reprepro(1) says:

    ... a distribution not listed in that files' Distributions: header

There are several issues here:

* "files'" should be "file's"
* "Distributions" should be "Distribution"
* "Distributions:" is written without quotes, whereas the previous
  section puts "Architecture:" in quotes.  I recommend adding
  quotes here, but removing them in the previous section is OK too.
* nitpick: deb-changes(5) calls it a "field", not a "header"

Patch:
