Dear Maintainers,

The apt-cache manpage speaks about the virtual package
"X11-text-viewer", but this one does not exists. This is not important,
but in my opinion it is a pity to give an example that is not real in
this case.

For example and if I am not wrong, it could be replaced by the virtual
package "libgjs0-libmozjs-24-0", which is only met by "libgjs0e".

Regards,
Yvan

I'd rather change "is" to "was". The thing is that those situations
will never be stable, and then we would need to update that all the
time, which always involves new translations and stuff.

Or maybe produce a more abstract example.

Thanks for your fast answer.

I trust you on the fact that this changes often (I am not confident with
these
situations) and so I think you are right: the solution should not create
recurrent
work.
If you can't find one, I think this example (while not valid anymore) is
still
easily understandable. Maybe the sentence should be written to the past:
"For
example, in the Debian system, "X11-text-viewer" was a virtual package,
but only
one package, xless, provided "X11-text-viewer".
