Bug Description

The db-utils tools come with no man page nor documentation.

This can be easily solved as they are already written upstream :

http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/utility/

Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'db4.2-utils'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.

Hello,

I've created the missing manpages for db4.[234]-util, based on the
documentation as shipped in the -doc package, see attachment. I've
converted this semi-automatically: the bulk of a page with some
find/replaces, and tweaked the rest by hand.

The differences between the versions are very minimal, but there are
some. Seen the differences between these versions, I guess manpages for
the next series (4.5?) are easily created by inspecting the diff between
the HTML docs.

I hope these can be included in the packages. If you have any questions,
just ask.

bye,
Thijs

db4.2-util still missing man pages (checked in hardy and intrepid)
However, db4.3-util (and probably all later) contain manpages.
