Package: manpages-dev Version: 3.05-1 Severity: normal
The BUGS section starts with a bald "Avoid using this function", but that advice only applies to calls with a non-NULL second argument. If one uses the glibc extension (which the POSIX man page hints may well become standard) then one is safe. Hence, the advice should be more like: "Avoid using this function with a non-NULL second argument, for the reasons explained below. Passing NULL as the second argument is a non-POSIX use, so is non-portable." -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages manpages-dev depends on: ii manpages 3.05-1 Manual pages about using a GNU/Lin manpages-dev recommends no packages.
