Subject: Bug#726233: dialog(1): String register not allowed for the NAME section
     in the manual

Package: dialog
Version: 1.1-20120215-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

  From "lexgrog ...":

dialog.1.gz: parse failed

  Input file is /usr/share/man/man1/dialog.1.gz

  Changes (desides the error):

  A dash for a range is \(en

  A minus is \-

  The word 'enviroments' changed to
           'environments'

  A full stop protected with \& if it ends (starts) a 'word' (string)

  Some minor formatting corrections (\/ between italic and roman)

  Patch:
