Description Milos Malik 2008-04-17 09:59:08 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; cs-CZ; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080325 Fedora/2.0.0.13-1.fc8 Firefox/2.0.0.13

Description of problem:
The usage message of rhsalinfo_decode2-0.5 utility claims that parameters "-f" and "--forgiving" are equivalent, but the utility doesn't know the parameter "-f". Parameter "--forgiving" is recognized which is correct.

Following line is cut out of the usage message:
-f  --forgiving    be forgiving of errors when opening files and reading data

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
salinfo-0.5-1.13

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. /usr/sbin/rhsalinfo_decode2-0.5 -f


Actual Results:
/usr/sbin/rhsalinfo_decode2-0.5: invalid option -- f

-o  --cpu-offset   count cpus starting at 1 not 0.
--tiger4           the same as -d & -o
-f  --forgiving    be forgiving of errors when opening files and reading data
-r  --recursive    when a database is a directory traverse its subdirs
-v  --verbosity    specify the verbosity to print records.
        Verbosity can be 1-6
-s  --scriptable   output in a machine readable format
[database] defaults to stdin if not specified
A database can either be a file containing one of many salinfo records or
a directory containing files with salinfo records

Expected Results:
No message "invalid option".

RHEL4 fix for this issue

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2008-10-31 16:48:58 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in
the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like
this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your
support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?".

Comment 3 Prarit Bhargava 2008-12-02 13:04:19 UTC
With RHEL4.8 as the next release and this being a low priority issue, I'm
closing this as WONTFIX.
