Bug Description

Binary package hint: scalpel

Description: Ubuntu 10.10
Release: 10.10
scalpel:
  Installed: 1.60-1
  Candidate: 1.60-1
  Version table:
 *** 1.60-1 0
        500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
In the man page it has: for octal use \[1-9][1-9][1-9]
This is incorrect. It should be: for octal use \[0-7][0-7][0-7]

Not only did the documenter copy this error, he really didn't read it. I wonder if his program really works this way?
