Package: grub2-common
Version: 2.02~beta2-21
Severity: minor
doing "man grub-install" shows a manual page that repeats itself.
it has the following at the top of the document:
----------------------
GRUB-INSTALL(8) System Administration Utilities GRUB-INSTALL(8)
NAME
grub-install - install GRUB to a device
SYNOPSIS
grub-install [OPTION...] [OPTION] [INSTALL_DEVICE]
DESCRIPTION
Install GRUB on your drive.
--compress[=no,xz,gz,lzo]
compress GRUB files [optional]
----------------------
and then at line 117, it starts over again with:
----------------------
Usage: grub-install [OPTION...] [OPTION] [INSTALL_DEVICE]
Install GRUB on your drive.
--compress[=no,xz,gz,lzo]
compress GRUB files [optional]
----------------------
I'm assuming this is a bug in the manpage generation somehow, but it
makes it confusing and awkward to search.
Thanks for maintaining grub in debian,
