Package: passwd Version: 1:4.0.16-2 Severity: normal Tags: l10n The german man page for passwd is out of sync, most notably regarding the options (but I like the german layout much more in the synopsis), e.g. -f, -g, -s are mentioned in the german version, but not in the english original (and looking at passwd --help, they are not supported either[1]).
The german man page states: .\" Translation based on http://cvs.pld.org.pl/shadow/man/passwd.1 .\" (Version 1.25) but this URL is 404 now, so I could not get a diff. Also it is unclear, how this releates to the english version which seems to come from a docbook source (without author or URL): .\" Title: passwd .\" Author: .\" Generator: DocBook XSL Stylesheets v1.70.1 <http://docbook.sf.net/> .\" Date: 06/06/2006 It would be great if this important man page could be updated for Etch. Please do *not* simply drop the german man page, it is a quite valuable and extensive source already. If the original translator is unable to work on this man page and a diff between the version the translation is based on and the current can be provided, I can try to update the translation myself (no promises at this time, though). Greetings Helge [1] The reason I looked at this was because I tried to find out if Debian is vulnerable to USN-308-1 (http://lwn.net/Alerts/190323/), hence it would be great if you could confirm also that the options mentioned above are not supported (anymore?) in Debian. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14.6-grsec-cz03 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages passwd depends on: ii debianutils 2.16.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpam-modules 0.79-3.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam0g 0.79-3.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 1.30-1 SELinux shared libraries ii login 1:4.0.16-2 system login tools passwd recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- Dr. Helge Kreutzmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dipl.-Phys. http://www.helgefjell.de 64bit GNU powered gpg signed mail preferred Help keep free software "libre": http://www.ffii.de/
