Description of problem:
units package description reads:

Units converts an amount from one unit to another, or tells you what
mathematical operation you need to perform to convert from one unit to
another. Units can only handle multiplicative scale changes; it
can not tell you how to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, which
requires an additive step in addition to the multiplicative
conversion.

the correct package description should be (the first paragraph from info
documentation):
The `units' program converts quantities expressed in various scales
to their equivalents in other scales.  The `units' program can handle
multiplicative scale changes as well as nonlinear conversions such as
Fahrenheit to Celsius.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
units-1.80-8.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -qi units
2. info units
3. read the first paragraph of the overview section
4. compare
