Subject: unlink: coreutils should have a soft dependancy on glibc-doc
Date: Sat, 09 Apr 2005 14:53:59 -0700
Package: coreutils
Version: 5.2.1-2
Severity: minor


The "coreutils" package provides "info" documentation that links to
documentation in the "glibc-doc" package, but there is no relationship
between the two packages in the debian database. For instance, in "info
coreutils unlink", whose documentation is very terse, there is a link to the
function's documentation in glibc-doc.

I think that the coreutils package should at least "suggest" the glibc-doc
package.

	Thanks,
		Tyler
