Package: src:dpkg Version: 1.18.9 Severity: minor Tags: patch Justification: documentation
Dear Maintainer, I noticed two typos / grammatical errors in dpkg-shlibdeps.1 and attached a patch. The phrase "they uses" also occurs in several files in man/po/ but the patch does not touch that directory, as I didn't check if these are somehow autogenerated. Carsten
