Package: coreutils Version: 8.5-1 Severity: wishlist I'm not sure I should even be complaining about this, since I'd much rather have a manpage per executable than have to fish the information out of info, but... pinky(1) says:
# SEE ALSO # The full documentation for pinky is maintained as a Texinfo # manual. If the info and pinky programs are properly installed at # your site, the command # # info coreutils 'pinky invocation' # # should give you access to the complete manual. If this is true, the complete manual consists of the words No menu item `pinky invocation' in node `(coreutils.info.gz)Top'. Indeed, $ zcat /usr/share/info/*.gz | grep pinky || echo $? returns "1" (though "grep -i" finds a "Pinky and the Brain" ref). The version at http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html is just as uninformative. Of course, there's always the alternative of "info pinky", giving the "(*manpages*)pinky" fallback complete with SEE ALSO section. If the manpage is the only documentation anybody has ever written for pinky, it shouldn't send me on a wild goose chase looking for a more complete manual elsewhere. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.49-4 Access control list shared library ii libattr1 1:2.4.44-2 Extended attribute shared library ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libselinux1 2.0.96-1 SELinux runtime shared libraries coreutils recommends no packages. coreutils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- JBR Ankh kak!
