2017-01-19fix various typos reported by spellintianDavid Kalnischkies

2016-12-31expand -f to --fix-broken in error messagesDavid Kalnischkies
Users end up believing that this is a --force mode as -f is common for that, but apt doesn't have such a mode and --fix-broken is really not about forcing something but actually trying to fix the breakage which tends to be the result of a user forcing something on its system via low-level forced dpkg calls. Example: The "common" pattern of "dpkg -i ./foo.deb; apt install -f" is nowadays far better dealt with via "apt install ./foo.deb". And while at it the two places handing out this suggestion are changed to use the same strings to avoid needless translation work in the future and the suggestion uses 'apt' instead of 'apt-get' as this will be run interactively by a user, so its a good opportunity to showcase what we can do and will allow us to be more helpful to the user. Closes: #709092 Thanks: Kristian Glass for initial patch!
2014-08-26ensure that all docs use all entities filesDavid Kalnischkies
Not all are needed for all files at the moment, but the new docbook building hadn't available some of the entities it used as the files weren't correctly copied around in all cases and having the same across the bord makes working with all of them a little easier. Git-Dch: Ignore
