Bug Description
Binary package hint: anacron
The anacrontab manual page contains the following line, towards the end, where it attempts to describe the line continuation character:
You can continue a line onto the next line by ending it with a ’´.
The actual character to be used for line continuation is missing, and the second quote mark is actually an acute accent.
(applies to version shipped with Ubuntu 6.10)

The man page source anacrontab.5.gz contains:
You can continue a line onto the next line by ending it with a '\'.
But it should be a double slash:
You can continue a line onto the next line by ending it with a '\\'.
