[Bug 784758] Re: Wrong documentation for 'od'

[Zakhar]

And on second thoughts, this bug was posted for Lucid (10.04).

Lucid is using version 7.4 of coreutils:
$ apt-cache show coreutils
Package: coreutils
Essential: yes
Priority: required
Section: utils
Installed-Size: 12988
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss at lists.ubuntu.com>
Original-Maintainer: Michael Stone <mstone at debian.org>
Architecture: amd64
Version: 7.4-2ubuntu3

Lucid is still maintained, and the documentation bug is still there (for
French translation and other languages)... and I doubt upstream will fix
a translation bug on the help for this very old coreutils version.

Indeed it is not so important as the correct documentation can be found
- in english (it's OK, only some languages got bugs in the translation)
- in the man (it is correct... as it is in English even for French versions of Ubuntu!)
- searching on the web.

It does not prevent od from working correctly.

So indeed, for Lucid, where the bug is still present:

Importance ==> Low
seams fine.

... but

Status ==> Invalid
is strange, as I confirm the bug is still there!
Of course if you want to reproduce the bug you must have the buggy translations installed on your system (take French for example), and issue the command after having set the LANG variable to some variant of French.
