Package: procps Version: 1:3.3.4-1 Severity: minor Tags: upstream patch Control: tags 675848 upstream
Hi, The “.I\-aux” syntax is broken (missing space): as a result, the hyphen doesn't show up in the man page. Furthermore, according to man(1) conventions, and in consistency with the rest of the manpage, it should be bold instead of italic, the attached patch fixes this issue. Actually, this new paragraph is redundant with the forth paragraph in DESCRIPTION, so they should probably be merged in one place or the other (NOTES may indeed be the best place for such a note).
