Vincent Lefevre reported to the Debian BTS that the new documentation shipped for the recently added coreutils binary breaks the existing documentation for all of the coreutils utilities.
https://bugs.debian.org/760861 Confirmed. Perhaps the documentation node name can be changed to be something non-conflicting with the package name? Or perhaps only conditionally built if the binary is built? Or Vincent's suggestion to use upper case. Or...? If correspondents wish their responses logged to the Debian bug log please add 760...@bugs.debian.org to the email recipients list. (Two BTS instances are a little difficult to stitch together until both bug numbers are known.) Bob Original Debian report by Vincent Lefevre follows: Subject: coreutils: in man pages, info invocation is incorrect: replace coreutils by Coreutils Package: coreutils Version: 8.23-2 Severity: minor For instance, in the touch(1) man page: The full documentation for touch is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the info and touch programs are properly installed at your site, the command info coreutils 'touch invocation' should give you access to the complete manual. This is now incorrect (as of 8.23?), because it gives the page: 2.14 ‘coreutils’: Multi-call binary =================================== ‘coreutils’ invokes an individual utility, either implicitly selected by the last component of ‘argv[0]’, or by explicitly calling ‘coreutils’ with the ‘--coreutils-prog’ option. Synopsis: coreutils --coreutils-prog=PROGRAM … The correct info invocation now is: info Coreutils 'touch invocation' Note: Since the coreutils utility doesn't seem to exist in Debian, this section could be removed, but this problem may reappear in the future. So, it's better to use the capital letter C.
