Package: libimage-exiftool-perl
Version: 7.30-1
Severity: normal

The manpage exiftool.1p.gz contains (especially in the EXAMPLES
sections) lots of ’ that should be ' instead.

If you copy a line like

   exiftool ’-DateTimeOriginal>FileModifyDate’ dir

to your shell you will get an error message:

   [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ exiftool ’-DateTimeOriginal>FileModifyDate’ .
   File not found: ’-DateTimeOriginal
   
You need to change all ’ to ' to make the examples work which is very
inconvenient:

   [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ exiftool '-DateTimeOriginal>FileModifyDate' .
       1 directories scanned
       3 image files updated
       3 image files unchanged


I'm using Etch but I've checked the manpage from current package in
Lenny and it still has the same problem, hence I've opened this bug
directly against the 7.30-1 package.

Regards,
Christian
