• Bug#266562: iptables: Wrong characters in man page

    Package: iptables
    Version: 1.2.11-2
    Severity: normal

    The iptables man page uses wrong characters. It is important to note the difference between '-' and '\-' (groff_char(7)). The first is treated by
    groff a hyphen, the second as the minus sign. The latter must be used in
    the manpage:

    .BI "\-t, \-\-table " "table"

    I don't really provide a patch here. Sorry. Some hyphens have to stay.
