Package: sysutils
Version: 2.0.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #305959

New changelog says:

     + tofrodos:
       - correct one typo in manpage, the others are actually correct, by
         adding 61_tofrodos_manpage_typo.dpatch (Closes: #305959)

The one typo fixed was "preceeded"; "writeable" wasn't corrected.

Please observe that "writeable" isn't in Debian's
spellchecker dictionaries:

    % echo writeable | ispell -l -d british     # output misses
    writeable
    % echo writeable | ispell -l -d american
    writeable

...while "writable" is:

    % echo writable | ispell -l -d american
    % echo writable | ispell -l -d british

...and 'gnome-dictionary' comes up blank for "writeable", yet does
include:

    "The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48"
    Writable Writ"a*ble, a.
       Capable of, or suitable for, being written down.
       1913 Webster

A new single item patch is attached.

Hope this helps...
