Package: quota
Version: 3.12-4
Severity: minor

edquota(8) states:
       -t     Edit the soft time limits for each filesystem.   In
              old  quota  format if the time limits are zero, the
              default time limits in <linux/quota.h> are used. In
              new  quota  format  time  limits  must be specified
              (there is no default value  set  in  kernel).  Time
              units  of  'seconds',  'minutes',  'hours', 'days',
              'weeks', and 'months' are understood.  Time  limits
              are printed in the greatest possible time unit such
              that the value is greater than or equal to one.

If I try to use the units 'weeks' or 'months' I get:

ssdweb:~# edquota -t
[ ... editing configfile in vi ... ]
edquota: Bad time units. Units are 'second', 'minute', 'hour' and 'day'.
edquota: Failed to parse grace times file.
ssdweb:~#

The two unimplemented units should be removed from the man page.

Kind regards,
Kim Hansen
