Package: apt-rdepends
Version: 1.3.0-1
Severity: minor
Manual page reads:
-d, --dotty
dotty takes a list of packages on the command line and generates
output suitable for use by springgraph. The result will be a set
of nodes and edges representing the relationships between the
packages. By default the given packages will trace out all depen-
dent packages which can produce a very large graph.s
Please change this text to read:
-d, --dotty
dotty takes a list of packages on the command line and generates
! output suitable for use by springgraph(1). The result will be a
set
of nodes and edges representing the relationships between the

dent packages which can produce a very large graph.s
The "(1)" helps following the link to another manual page in programs
that interpret manuala pages specially (Like Emacs M-x man). It also
indicates better which external command is needed.
The debian/control file lists:
Suggests: vcg, springgraph | graphviz
But one is left wondering how these programs would be used with the
apt-rdepends.
SUGGESTION
Please add to manual an EXAMPLE section to describe how to view the
graps.
