    package "bat" contains error re: renaming of this utility

    Package "bat", a useful replacement for "cat", is not found (by me anyway) in the Discover Softwear Center, but IS via Muon. However, there, the documentation "details" tab contains this incorrect line:

    "In this package the executable and its manpage have been renamed from ‘bat’ to ‘batbat’ because of a file name clash with another Debian paclage."

    Two problems in this sentence:
    1. 'bat' is renamed to 'batcat' not 'batbat' [this results in an inability to execute the installed package until the actual right name is accidently discovered!!!)
    2. the last word in the sentence is not know in the Engliish language; it should be 'package'.

    I do not know where to send this correction-needed information. Tell me and I'll do it, if I don't have to jump through a bunch of hoops.

    But there will be some hoops - logins, etc.

      Aha...well I do read that challenge is good for the aging brain...which may or may not apply to me. I won't say. But I will give it a try. Thanks for the helpful specifics which I did NOT have!
