Debian patch that correctst the problem

Binary package hint: openssh-client

Using Ubuntu 8.10.

In ssh_config(5), there is a typo in the Description section regarding the Host option. It currently reads:

"If more than one pattern is provided, they should be separated by whitepsace".

The last word, whitespace, is spelled incorrectly.

This occurs in the openssh-client package, and the affected file is:

/usr/share/man/man5/ssh_config.5.gz

Thanks, but this is already fixed in 5.2:

$ cvs log ssh_config.5

     whitepsace -> whitespace. From Matthew Clarke via bugs@.

Mass move of RESOLVED bugs to CLOSED now that 5.3 is out.
