Public bug reported:
This is a minor error in the Bash manual, which I have confirmed with
one of the authors (Chet Ramey). The error appears to have been created
in Debian, and therefore Ubuntu has inherited it.
DETAIL
In the Bash manual ("man bash"), in the "Invocation" section, the
penultimate paragraph has this phrase:
"… it reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc and ~/.bashrc"
The file ~/.bashrc should be stated just once, because it's confusing
having it mentioned twice.
This needs correcting at the Debian level, so that all Debian-based
distributions will inherit the fix.

• apt-cache policy bash: 5.0-6ubuntu1.1
