[Aptitude-devel] Bug#1033558: aptitude-common: aptitude-curses.8.gz man page: unclear/wrong text for Example 12

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: aptitude-common
Version: 0.8.13-5
Severity: minor

When searching for "Example" in the aptitude-curses(8) man page,
I get:

    Example 12. Usage of --show-summary --show-summary used with -v to
    display all the reasons a package is installed:

There are several issues.

1. Why "12" while this is the only example in this man page?

2. There is a duplicate of "--show-summary".

3. The sentence is not well formed.
