Bug Description

Binary package hint: jhead

The example for the -te option in the jhead manpage reads:

jhead -te originalsi *.jpg

The source reads:

.B jhead -te "originals\&i" *.jpg

The slash is pointing the wrong way. (If it were documenting the Windows version, the slash should be replaced by a \\, but the -st option documented below uses the Unix slash convention. The attached debdiff changes the above line to the following.

.B jhead -te "originals/&i" *.jpg

Hi Adam,

thanks for your work. I fixed a few things:
 - intrepid -> jaunty
 - updated to the newest version in jaunty
 - 2.85-1ubuntu1 instead of 2.84-1ubuntu1~adb1
 - as Debian now uses quilt instead of dpatch, I fixed the patch too
 - also I added a (LP: #317125) to close the bug on upload.
 - also I fixed the package to adhere to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField (update-maintainer in ubuntu-dev-tools does that).

Attached the debdiff that I came up with.

Do you think you can please forward the patch to Upstream?
