[Bug 1668813] Re: The tc man page references tc-index man page but tc-index man page does not exist

[Michael Terry]

I agree with Brian that this might not be worth fixing, but at the same
time, there's 4 more years of 16.04 to go.

I've uploaded both the xenial and yakkety patches (I see that you had to
fix yakkety too so that the versions upgraded nicely) to proposed.
Let's see what the SRU team thinks.

Title:
  The tc man page references tc-index man page but tc-index man page
  does not exist

Status in iproute2 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in iproute2 source package in Xenial:
  In Progress
Status in iproute2 source package in Yakkety:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * The man pages for tc make reference to a non-existent tc-index man
  page. Purely a typo that should have been tc-tcindex.

   *  Purely a documentation fix, but nice to fix for an LTS release
  that has many years left to it.

  
  [Test Case]

   * To see this issue, fire up a 16,04 image (I did so via lxd) and
  type:

     root at xi386# man tc | grep tc-index
                   Filter packets based on traffic control index. See tc-index(8).

  , HOWEVER:

     root at xi386:~# man tc-index
     No manual entry for tc-index

  
  * on a fixed system you should only see refereces to tc-tcindex, not tc-index:

     root at x1:~# man tc | grep tc-index
     root at x1:~# man tc | grep tc-tcindex
                   Filter packets based on traffic control index. See tc-tcindex(8).
            red(8), tc-route(8), tc-sfb(8), tc-sfq(8), tc-stab(8), tc-tbf(8), tc-tcindex(8), tc-u32(8),


  
  [Regression Potential] 

   * This is only a change to man pages, so any regression would be non-
  functional, but this fix is trivial to fix and verify, and the fix is
  exactly from the upstream.
