Hello all, attached is a patch by John Bradshaw who provided a patch to Fedora containing some popt(3) manpage fixes. Aside from some definate typos I am not absolutely sure about the changes...as a non-native speaker.
However, please review that patch and if suitable apply it for the next popt release. Greetings, Robert
