Comment 1 Graham Perrin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-06-15 19:41:15 UTC
<https://forums.freebsd.org/profile-posts/comments/8023/> suggests requesting an upstream fix, and notes that dialog(1) and dialog(3) are in src/contrib
Comment 2 Thomas E. Dickey 2022-06-15 20:20:16 UTC
I see (an extra blank).  I'll update that the next time I do maintenance.

FreeBSD's cgi is about 4 years out of date (see the bottom left of that
page versus my website), so I don't know how long it will take for a
change to appear here.

Comment 3 Thomas E. Dickey 2022-06-15 20:32:06 UTC
By the way, there are two references to "dialog(1)".

The other (in both mine/FreeBSD's copy) is in "DEFINITIONS",
where the reference does link as expected.
