Package: mysql-client-4.1
Version: 4.1.11a-4
Severity: normal

I have just installed the package (together with releated packages),
using `aptitude'.  I know practically nothing about SQL - not even how to
make the program start.

/usr/share/doc/mysql-client-4.1 contains only administrative documents;
it doesn't contain any user manuals.  I need to read the user manuals.
I don't want to have to go to a website for the documentation, since I
use an (expensive) modem connection.

In /usr/share/doc/mysql-client-4.1/README, it states:

    The manual mentioned above can be found in the Docs directory. The
    manual is available in the following formats: as plain ASCII text in
    Docs/manual.txt, in HTML format in Docs/manual_toc.html, as GNU Info
    in Docs/mysql.info and as PostScript in Docs/manual.ps.

Nowhere does it give any hint as to where "Docs" is to be found.  I tried
the following commands:

   find /usr -type d -name Docs
   find /usr -name "mysql.info"

Neither of them found any files.

Am I missing something obvious, or has the documentation not been
installed?

Thanks in anticipation!
