Research direction

Start at the xpbs-checkvers manpage and compare the option spelling in the introductory text with the later option description. Update the inconsistent capital-I reference so the manpage uses the same option name throughout, then review the surrounding rendered text for any remaining mismatch.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

" By default and unless the -i, --installed option is set, "

"""
-i, --ignore-conf-repos
Ignore repositories defined in configuration files. Only
repositories specified in the command line via --repository will be
used.

 -I, --installed
     Check for outdated installed packages rather than in repositories.

"""

The capital I is inconsistent with later desciption.
