Bug Description

Ubuntu 14.10 utopic

Try to look up lpstat(1) command:

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search.py?q=lpstat&op=&cx=003883529982892832976%3A5zl6o8w6f0s&cof=FORID%3A9&ie=UTF-8

Select the utopic entry for lpstat(1):

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/utopic/en/man1/lpstat.1.html

This page content is for the cancel command. Note header/content mismatch. Same results for trusty and precise. lucid works.

Interestingly, now try looking up cancel(1):

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search.py?q=cancel&op=&cx=003883529982892832976%3A5zl6o8w6f0s&cof=FORID%3A9&ie=UTF-8&siteurl=

utopic, trusty and precise yield the proper page, but lucid now points to a page with the lprm(1) content!

An integrity check should be written for the manual pages to insure that the topic links match an entry in the SYNOPSIS field.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1415142/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.
