[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#1050042: gnupg2: in man pages, U+2010 HYPHEN instead of U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS

[Vincent Lefevre]

Source: gnupg2
Version: 2.2.40-1.1
Severity: normal

In various man pages, there are many U+2010 HYPHEN characters while
U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS would be expected.

For instance, for the gpg(1) man page:

       If you are going to verify detached signatures, make sure that the pro‐
       gram  knows about it; either give both filenames on the command line or
       use ‘‐’ to specify STDIN.
           ^^^ this one is incorrect

       For scripted or other unattended use of gpg make sure to  use  the  ma‐
       chine‐parseable  interface  and  not the default interface which is in‐
       tended for direct use by humans.  The machine‐parseable interface  pro‐
       vides a stable and well documented API independent of the locale or fu‐
       ture  changes of gpg.  To enable this interface use the options ‐‐with‐
       colons and ‐‐status‐fd.  For certain operations the option ‐‐command‐fd
       may come handy too.  See this man page and the file ‘DETAILS’  for  the
       specification  of the interface.  Note that the GnuPG ‘‘info’’ pages as
       well as the PDF version of the GnuPG manual features a chapter on unat‐
       tended use of GnuPG.  As an alternative the library GPGME can  be  used
       as a high‐level abstraction on top of that interface.

Ditto for all hyphens that appear in options.
Ditto in the list of options in section COMMANDS.
The program name "gpg‐agent" is also incorrect.
etc.

The gpg-agent(1) man page, like most gpg-* ones, has the same issue.

The gpg-zip(1) man page seems correct, except for <bug‐gnupg at gnu.org>
in section AUTHOR.
