Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.6-7 Severity: normal $ ARGP_HELP_FMT=rmargin=29 tar --h |wc -l; echo $PIPESTATUS 1031 139
$ dpkg-query -W tar tar 1.15.1dfsg-3 My argp manpage (a work-in-progress) reads: opt-doc-col=n The column in which options' documentation is printed is set to .IR n; default: 29. Presumably, inconsistent options should generate a diagnostic message, and the manually-set inconsistent parts should be either ignored, or clipped to the nearest inconsistent value. Strangely, this is what happened when I tried an SGID program which uses argp: ARGP_HELP_FMT=rmargin=29 /usr/bin/dotlock.mailutils --h dotlock.mailutils: ARGP_HELP_FMT: rmargin value is less then or equal to opt-doc-col So it seems that a better argp parameter range checking is compiled into mailutils: Breakpoint 2, 0xb7f94496 in argp_parse () from /usr/lib/libmailutils.so.1 $ dpkg-query -W mailutils mailutils 1:0.6.93-3 I don't see any reason for mailutils to be compiled with --with-included-argp, either (or for autofoo to fail to recognize that libc includes argp, if that's the cause). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
