The second line of the "Description" of the tzfile man page contains a typo:
"The time zone information files used by tzset(3) begin with the magic
characters "TZif" to identify then as time zone information files"

$ man -w 5 tzfile
/usr/share/man/man5/tzfile.5.gz
$ dpkg -p manpages-dev | grep Version

    tzfile.5: Mention timezone directories in DESCRIPTION

Thanks for confirming that this is already fixed.

FYI, you check whether a bug is already fixed upstream by checking online
manpages at http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/tzfile.5.html

I now noticed that
https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/what_version.html suggests to
check the online pages, but unfortunately I missed it when I reported
the issue.  Maybe this could be added to the bullet list at the bottom
of https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/reporting_bugs.html too.

Best Regards,
Ezio Melotti

Best regards.
