Bug Description
[Impact]
* The man pages for tc make reference to a non-existent tc-index man page. Purely a typo that should have been tc-tcindex.
* Purely a documentation fix, but nice to fix for an LTS release that has many years left to it.
[Test Case]
* To see this issue, fire up a 16,04 image (I did so via lxd) and type:
root@xi386# man tc | grep tc-index
, HOWEVER:
root@xi386:~# man tc-index
No manual entry for tc-index
* on a fixed system you should only see refereces to tc-tcindex, not tc-index:
root@x1:~# man tc | grep tc-index
root@x1:~# man tc | grep tc-tcindex
red(8), tc-route(8), tc-sfb(8), tc-sfq(8), tc-stab(8), tc-tbf(8), tc-tcindex(8), tc-u32(8),
[Regression Potential]
* This is only a change to man pages, so any regression would be non-functional, but this fix is trivial to fix and verify, and the fix is exactly from the upstream.

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.
I confirm that this issue is still present in 4.9.0-1ubuntu1 on Ubuntu Zesty. The manpage still mentions tc-index but it is a dead link http:// manpages. ubuntu. com/manpages/ zesty/en/ man8/tc. 8.html. (As you mention, the tcindex manpage seems to exists.
