[Bug 1882596] Re: systemd.unit(5) incorrectly refers to systemd.syntax(5)

[Brian Murray]

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.

** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Focal)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-focal

Title:
  systemd.unit(5)  incorrectly refers to systemd.syntax(5)

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in systemd source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed
Status in systemd source package in Groovy:
  Fix Released

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."
