Package: manpages Version: 2.60-1 The bug has been reported on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/manpages/+bug/62396
"Binary package hint: manpages-dev manpage-dev 2.34-1, in /usr/share/man/man3/scanf.3.gz, where it says: "If the next item of input does not match the the conversion specification, the conversion fails — this is a matching failure." I think it should say: "If the next item of input does not match the conversion specification, the conversion fails — this is a matching failure." (Note the extra "the" in the original version)" Mateusz Drozdzynski send a patch on the Ubuntu bug, I'm attaching the code change to the report
