To make it clear: Does the upstream version have the '-a' option? The version in etch does not.

Haven't you meant "option 3"? Cause fixing the manpage means removing the documented (but not available) option '-a'. This bugreport is against the version in stable (etch), and I don't know how the situation is in unstable. Maybe everything is fine there. (I do not have an unstable system, sorry.) Actually, this was my first bugreport and I was so happy having found a bug :-) Get simple bugs like that one fixed in stable? Since I think program versions do not get upgraded in stable (if it is nothing serious), fixing the manpage would be the way to go. Also it is the most logical solution (in my eyes). meillo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
