cobex_put should be replaced by cobex_get. The "e.G" should be "e.g." (also in cobex_put from where it was copy pasted).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

Well, yes it's still an issue, okay I should have provided input, but nevertheless I think it's get obvious that if you open the manpage for cobex_get it is filled with cobex_put syntax.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

here is the debdiff that corrects this issue.

[Elie De Brauwer (elie)]

Great that someone took the time to create this fix.

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

This package uses dpatch patch-system, you should consider using it when patching manpages. You can follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems for more informations. Also, you have to adjust Maintainer field as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField. Please resubscribe u-u-s when ready, thanks!

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

Here is the patch. This is my very first patch using dpatch patch-system, so I hope that I've used it the right way.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

I'm afraid Luca was wrong. You shouldn't use dpatch for files that are already in debian/.

Colin is right, it's my fault I misread your first debdiff. Sorry for that.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

no prob. You gave me the opportunity to learn more about dpatch. Thanks.
