Lintian tag: bad-whatis-entry

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

A manual page should start with a NAME section, which lists the program
name and a brief description. The NAME section is used to generate a
database that can be queried by commands like apropos and whatis. You are
seeing this tag because lexgrog was unable to parse the NAME section.

Manual pages for multiple programs, functions, or files should list each
separated by a comma and a space, followed by \- and a common description.

Listed items may not contain any spaces. A manual page for a two-level
command such as fs listacl must look like fs_listacl so the list is read
correctly.

Please refer to the lexgrog(1) manual page, the groff_man(7) manual page,
and the groff_mdoc(7) manual page for details.
