Package: gnupg Version: 2.1.17-2 Severity: normal gpg's command line parser takes abbreviations for long options as long as the option is uniquely identified.
So for decades "gpg --clear" has worked as shorthand for "gpg --clearsign". Now gpg has gotten a --clear-sign option as an alias for --clearsign, and this breaks gpg --clear because it's no longer unambigious. | weasel@orinoco:~$ echo fo | gpg --clear | gpg: option "--clear" is ambiguous Maybe you could also add a --clear alias, or maybe teach gpg that both options that start with --clear are the same, so it is not, in fact, ambigious. Thanks for your consideration, weasel
