Bug Description

[impact]

some systemd man pages refer to the wrong man section for some references

[test case]

e.g.

$ man systemd.network | grep systemd.syntax
       A plain ini-style text file that encodes network configuration for matching network interfaces, used by systemd-networkd(8). See systemd.syntax(5) for a general description of the syntax.

$ man 5 systemd.syntax
No manual entry for systemd.syntax in section 5

[regression potential]

any regression would possibly cause confusion by referencing the wrong man section, or possibly cause a build failure, or problem with various man pages for systemd

[scope]

this is needed for f/g

there is no systemd.syntax manpage in b or earlier

[original description]

In Ubuntu 20.04 LTS there is no systemd.syntax(5) it is actually systemd.syntax(7).

"See systemd.syntax(5) for a general description of the syntax."

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/245.4-4ubuntu3.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.
