commit 40209ee9f63e100d368fa7a9c998c07da76f28f0
Author: Sai Nane
Date: Mon Mar 10 02:33:38 2025 +0000

There's currently two dashes after the command instead of one.
Problems become apparent when using apropos(1), which strips exactly
one dash after the command name to separate the description for
tabular display:

> apt-cdrom (8) - APT CD-ROM management utility
