Description Reiner Buehl 2002-10-18 12:38:15 UTC

Description of problem:
The man page describes the command line options --nopgp and --nogpg for rpm --
checksig. If used, rpm fails with "--nopgp: unknown option"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-4.1-1.06

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
rpm --checksig --nopgp <Package File>
rpm --checksig --noggp <Package File>

Actual Results:  --nopgp: unknown option
--noggp: unknown option

Expected Results:  Man page should not list the options or the option should 
work

Additional info:

Same issue was already reported as Bug #65494 in Rawhide but the bug report was 
closed without fixing either documentation or executable.

Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2002-10-21 12:45:51 UTC

The documentation will be fixed in rpm-4.2.

Meanwhile, the options --nogpg and --nopgp
have been replace by --nosignature.

Comment 2 Giuseppe Raimondi 2002-12-02 12:48:06 UTC

I don't know if this is the right place to point this out, but the documentation
in the errata for 8.0 in our webpages should be amended. they still contain the
--nogpg option to test the rpms.

Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2002-12-02 15:04:49 UTC

Probably, but this ain't the place to get that fixed.
