Comment 1 Elliot Lee 2002-03-08 19:30:48 UTC 
Will be fixed in util-linux-2.11n-7
Comment 2 David Balažic 2002-03-27 10:46:00 UTC 
In beta3 ( util-linux-2.11n-9 ) it looks like :

iprm - provide information on ipc facilities

the name is fixed, but the description is wrong. iprm does not provide 
information on ipc facilities, it deletes them ( or something similar ).
Comment 3 Elliot Lee 2002-03-27 18:55:06 UTC 
Sorry about that - it will be fixed for real in 2.11n-10
