Subject: bug#41721: 28.0.50; "f is undefined" in list-packages buffer

From: Platon Pronko <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2020 15:31:15 +0300

1. 'emacs -Q'
2. 'M-x list-packages'
3. 'f'
4. Observe message "f is undefined"

When I type "h", in the help popup "f" is reserved to mean "filter". Online documentation also mentions only "f" to filter the packages: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Package-Menu.html

In describe-mode I see that filtering is done using "/" prefix key, not with "f".
