Package: dput-ng
Version: 1.39
Severity: grave
The documentation (manpage) for `dcut cancel` states:
cancel
Cancel an upload entirely. The upload is referred to as a changes file
name existing remote in the incoming or deferred queues.
This is wrong, because cancel actually can only be applied to DELAYED queue,
but the description suggests it is valid to cancel a regular upload too.
Suggest to use wording for cancel and rm subcommands as for regular dcut
command (without -ng suffix).
Severity is grave because this wrong wording leads to huge efforts to work
around mistaken upload which can't be cancelled in time because of the
wrong expectation, - resorting to version strings like FOO+reallyBAR and
jumping through hoops for both users and maintainers.
