Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-201
Severity: minor
The date at the bottom of the crontab(5) man page is incorrect.
This man page has
crontab 12/11/2025 CRONTAB(5)
thus meaning 12 November 2025. But it was modified yesterday.
The crontab(1) and cron(8) man pages show the same date, though
they do not appear to have been modified since October.
