Package: virtualbox
Version: 5.0.18-dfsg-3~bpo8+1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
the virtualbox package installs /usr/share/doc/virtualbox/UserManual.pdf
On page 32, section 1.15, subsection 3 it lists an "Update" menu item which
does not exist in the Debian fork, presumably because it would pull in updates
from upstream and it would ignore Debian package management. This creates
confusion.
* What led up to the situation?
I would guess that the user manual was only lightly edited before inclusion in
the package.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I Read The Friendly Manual.
* What was the outcome of this action?
I found a menu option listed which doesn't exist in the Debian fork, and for
good reason. This led me to go on a wild goose chase in relation to suppressing
update notifications for virtualbox-guest-additions (about which I'll raise a
seperate bug report).
* What outcome did you expect instead?
To not find this menu option listed in the manual
