[pkg-db-devel] Bug#742504: db5.1-util: Documentation errors

[Keith Edmunds]

Package: db5.1-util
Version: 5.1.29-5
Severity: normal

db5.1_hotbackup(1) states: "To  avoid  making  catastrophic failure
impossible, log file removal must be integrated with log file
archival.". I suspect there are too many negatives in that sentence
(maybe it should be "To avoid possible catastrophic failure, log file
removal just be integrated with log file archival").

Running /usr/bin/db5.1_dump gives (amongst other output):

    usage: db_dump [-kNpV] [-d ahr] [-f output] [-h home] -m database

The db5.1_dump(1) page does not document the -m option.
