Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/man/man8/ifconfig.8.gz
Currently, ifconfig(8) shows like this:
--cut--
use them to assign a second address. To delete an alias inter-
face use ifconfig eth0:0 down aliases are deleted, if you delete
the first (primary).
--cut--
Compare with ifconfig.8:
--cut: ifconfig.8--
.B ifconfig eth0:0 down
. Note: for every scope (i.e. same net with address/netmask combination) all
aliases are deleted, if you delete the first (primary).
--cut: ifconfig.8--

patch solves the problem:

PS. I've checked 1.60-17.2, the problem appears to be still present.
