[PATCH] bdflush.2, fsync.2, sync.2, sync.8: rm update(8)

[Kir Kolyshkin]

Remove reference to update(8) man page, since there is no such
page. This is an ancient BSD leftover I believe.

Hello Kir,

Thanks for that. By chance I was puzzling over that very reference 
myself recently, but was unaware of the BSD connection. The 
update(8) reference was present right back in man-pages-1.0 
(1993), and tehre was no update.8 page in the set then. That 
plus a little Googling suggests your hypothesis is correct.

Patch applied.

Cheers,

Michael
