Description of problem: The description about option '--dump' in manpage is wrong. "This option must be used with at least one of -l, -c, -d." exists in manpage, but in fact, this option can be used singly. The usage of this option is same with option '--state', they can be used with one of -l, -c, -d, and also can be used singly. If be used singly, they implies -l. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.4.2-37.el5 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.man rpm Actual results: "This option must be used with at least one of -l, -c, -d." be outputted. Expected results: This description should be deleted from manpage, not be outputted when man rpm.
