Yes the upstream version has the -a option. The version in Etch and currently in Sid (1.2.15-1.1) have a heavily customised version from the upstream version and the script doesn't end in .sh, like the upstream version. > > I see there's 3 options: > > > > 1) fix the manpage > > 2) use the upstream script ditching any Debian changes > > 3) rework the script to include -a > > > > Personally I do not like option 1, since on my exim/mlmmj > > installation I don't add entries for mailing lists into > > /etc/aliases. > > Haven't you meant "option 3"? > Cause fixing the manpage means removing the documented (but not > available) option '-a'. No, since the option was removed from the Debian version of the script most of the code for which the -a option does is still there. > 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. They are currently the same. It's definately a problem I'd like to get fixed for Lenny. > (I do not have an unstable system, sorry.) That's no problem. > Get simple bugs like that one fixed in stable? Probably not for just a minor documentation bug.

For etch yes. Not for lenny. Dan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
