Description Olivier Vitrat 2007-03-19 14:19:00 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

This has been reported in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=413984

for some way, konqueror (from etch) shows manpages differently than man.
eg.
man ssh says
»[..] 
-b bind_address 
[..]
 -c cipher_spec 
[..]
-p port
 [..] «  (that's correct - of course)

but #ssh (man:/ssh) in konqueror describes these parameters in a strange 
(rather incorrect) way

»-b -file ... -bind_address 
 Use bind_address on the local machine as the source address of the 
connection. Only useful on systems with more than one address.
[..] 
-c -file ... -cipher_spec
[..]
 
-p -file ... -port 
 Port to connect to on the remote host. This can be specified on a per-host 
basis in the configuration file.«

Obviously,  »-file ..« is inserted additionaly.

Confirmed on svn r643409. The relevant lines in the input nroff file look like:
.It Fl b Ar bind_address

Something to do with the "Fl" I guess.

Comment 2 Dario Andres 2009-05-01 17:21:04 UTC

Here using:

Qt: 4.5.1 (qt-copy  958974)
KDE: 4.2.71 (KDE 4.2.71 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090428))
kdelibs svn rev. 960693 / kdebase svn rev. 960693
on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.29.1

This is fixed.
