Package: stow Version: 2.2.0-1 Severity: normal I have a script that configures and builds a package and stows the resulting binaries. As a precaution against hypothetical package names that start with a dash, it uses "--" like so:
( cd -- "${stowdir}" && stow --restow -- "${PKG_STOWNAME}" )
This used to work, but now when I try with stow 2.2.0-1, it fails:
| ( cd -- "/home/Kalle/prefix/stow" && stow --restow -- "emacs" )
| stow: No packages to stow or unstow
|
| stow (GNU Stow) version 2.2.0
|
| SYNOPSIS:
|
| stow [OPTION ...] [-D|-S|-R] PACKAGE ... [-D|-S|-R] PACKAGE ...
|
| OPTIONS:

| -D, --delete Unstow the package names that follow this option
| -R, --restow Restow (like stow -D followed by stow -S)
|
| --ignore=REGEX Ignore files ending in this Perl regex
| --defer=REGEX Don't stow files beginning with this Perl regex
| if the file is already stowed to another package
| --override=REGEX Force stowing files beginning with this Perl regex
| if the file is already stowed to another package
| --adopt (Use with care!) Import existing files into stow
package
| from target. Please read docs before using.
| -p, --compat Use legacy algorithm for unstowing
|
| -n, --no, --simulate Do not actually make any filesystem changes
| -v, --verbose[=N] Increase verbosity (levels are 0,1,2,3;

| make[1]: *** [pkg-stow] Virhe 1
Without "--", it works OK. However, I don't see in the above
command-line synopsis anything that would disallow inserting "--"
there. "--" is supposed to treat all subsequent arguments as
non-options, and package names are not intended to be options,
so "--" should be fine.
I guess the problem is that Stow collects the package names from
the command line by giving a "Handler for non-option arguments"
to Getopt::Long::GetOptions, which stops reading arguments from
@ARGV when it sees "--". Stow should follow the GetOptions call
with a loop that processes any remaining package names from @ARGV.
