Bug Description

Binary package hint: star

Hi,

the star man page references star-match(1) and pat-match(1), but does not include them:
[..]
space followed by a file name pattern (see star-match(1) or pat-
match(3) for more information).
[..]

The star package does not suggests or reccommends packages which include the mentionend man pages either.

I am using Ubuntu 6.10.

Best Regards
Georg Sauthoff

Confirmed.
As far as I can tell, the intended manpage is called match rather than star-match.
Marking this as bitesize. Fixing it is just a case of either editing the star.1 manpage, or renaming the match manpage to star-match, and checking that there aren't any other incorrect references.
Also, the upstream mentioned in debian/copyright seems to have vanished from the net. Quick googling suggests it's currently at http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/star.html; if that is the case, whoever fixes this bug may as well update the copyright file at the same time

Okay, i'm not sure of it but...
I didn't find the : --[..]space followed by a file name pattern (see star-match(1) or pat-match(3) for more information).[..]-- in the manpage (^^') so i edited the debian/rules...

Hari, it looks like that debdiff only contains changes to debian/changelog and debian/control. Might you have made a mistake while creating it?
