I am using Hardy generic 32bit and Synaptic.

I was looking through the installed packages ans saw bc and dc.
To find out what they are I read the package info


bc info said to go to :

"
The GNU bc arbitrary precision calculator language
GNU bc is an interactive algebraic language with arbitrary precision which
follows the POSIX 1003.2 draft standard, with several extensions including
multi-character variable names, an `else' statement and full Boolean
expressions. GNU bc does not require the separate GNU dc program.
Home page: http://directory.fsf.org/GNU/bc.html
"


dc info said:
"
The GNU dc arbitrary precision reverse-polish calculator
GNU dc is a reverse-polish desk calculator which supports unlimited
precision arithmetic. It also allows you to define and call macros.

A reverse-polish calculator stores numbers on a stack. Entering a number
pushes it on the stack. Arithmetic operations pop arguments off the
stack and push the results.
Home page: http://directory.fsf.org/GNU/bc.html
"

Both have the same home URL???????????????????

I think the dc should have a home URL of:

http://www.gnu.org/software/bc/manual/dc-1.05/dc.html



How do I get this bug report to the proper people? is the a Ubuntu bug
or is it the package maintainer bug?
