Bug#575467: system(3): redundant note in NOTES section

[Jonathan Nieder]

Package: manpages-dev
Version: 3.24-1
Severity: minor

Hi Joey,

In system(3), the NOTES section both begins and ends with the paragraph

       If  the  _XOPEN_SOURCE  feature  test  macro  is  defined, then the 
macros
       described in wait(2) (WEXITSTATUS(), etc.) are made available when 
includ‐
       ing <stdlib.h>.

but I think one would suffice.

Tracking this down, it seems that you and mtk each added a copy at
around the same time, both to fix <http://bugs.debian.org/242638>: one
Debian-specific copy in version 1.70-2 and one copy upstream in commit
dc23fde (released in version 2.01).

If I understand correctly, one could overwrite system.3 with the
upstream version to fix this.

Thanks,
Jonathan
