Bug Description

Version: Ubuntu 9.04

In the "undocumented" man page, it is suggested that the user should report a bug to Debian's tracker, and, if he decides to write a man page, to forward it to Debian maintainers. The page should be changed to refer to Ubuntu.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. I have classified this bug as a bug in PKGNAME.

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the appropriate application's "Help -> Report a Problem" menu or using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

Stock bug report messages aside, this is a classic example of a case
where apport wouldn't help in the slightest. :-) (Personally, I like to
tailor stock messages after reading the bug ...)

The undocumented(7) page was removed some time ago, in line with Debian.

manpages (4.04-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Update copyright to DEP-5 format
  * Remove superfluous priority from binary package
  * Reduce d/rules using debhelper 9
    - Add d/manpages.docs for debhelper
    - Rename lintian override files for dh_lintian
    - Install upstream's changelogs
  * Remove Ubuntu specific patch which is not needed any longer
  * Remove obsolete manpage for LDP.7
  * Remove obsolete manpage of missing manpages.
    This manpage is severely outdated, some bugs have been fixed
    already years ago, other bugs do no longer apply to this package,
    and the list is incomplete. Moreover, missing manpages are
    now tracked upstream on the website.
  * Remove obsolete manpage undocumented.7.
    This manpage was provided in order to comply with an ancient
    policy version. The manpage is no longer needed since Nov 2002.
    Closes: #506653, LP:#426359
