Package: devscripts
Version: 2.9.16
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Found some typos in '/usr/share/man/man1/pts-subscribe.1.gz', see attached
'.diff'.
Note: also cut some redundancies, e.g.:
"for a _future_ date ... in 30 days _time_"
...to:
"in 30 days"
...etc. Didn't whittle down the whole manual tho'.
Hope this helps...
