Public bug reported: Running "aptitude show fdflush" doesn't work, even though there's a package "fdflush". I checked my spelling very carefully. "apt-cache search fdflush" works fine. "aptitude show" works fine for other package names I tried it with. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04

Closing this bug just because I no longer have the hardware makes no sense. Note that two other people claim to be affected by the bug. Also, please don't pollute Launchpad with so much boilerplate (as in your comment #6), it just makes bug reports harder to read. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)

errno(2) in freebsd-manpages is actually an alias for intro(2).
