Package: gcm
Version: 2.1.0+20031016.1-2
Severity: minor


The parenthesis "(provided by the \fIgcm-applet\fP package in Debian)"
should probably be deleted from the gcm.1 and gcmui.1 man pages, so that
users do not search in vain for the no-longer-existent gcm-applet
package.

Also I'd suggest converting a couple of hyphens in the man pages to
ascii dashes / minus signs, by preceding with a backslash: "two dashes
(`\-')", "Panel \-> Utility \-> Clipboard".  In some locales (e.g.
uxterm with LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8), hyphen (plain dash in roff) is
rendered with a different character from "\-", which hinders copy &
paste from the rendered man page, and doesn't look as good (the hyphen
is shorter than an ascii minus sign).  Whereas the phrase
"right-clicking" should remain as a hyphen.

Thanks,
