Package: rdfind
Version: 1.2.4-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Found a few typos in '/usr/share/man/man1/rdfind.1.gz', see attached '.diff'.

Note: the man page has a variable name typo "DUPTYPE_FIRST_OCCURENCE" 
(i.e. 'occurrence').  The same typo also exists in the code itself,
therefore so I didn't correct it:

    % strings `which rdfind` | grep OC
    DUPTYPE_FIRST_OCCURENCE

Probably should be fixed though, perhaps by correcting the man page, 
and adding the correct spelling to the code, while retaining the 
code-typo as an undocumented option for backwards compatibility.



Hope this helps...

 .SH SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
 Avoid manipulating the directories while rdfind is reading.
-rdfind is quite britle in that case. Especially, when deleting
+rdfind is quite brittle in that case. Especially, when deleting
 or making links, rdfind can be subject to a symlink attack.
 Use with care!
