From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows 98) Description of problem: The --freshen option is missing from the output of --help. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type 'rpm --help'. Actual Results: See that '--freshen' is missing. Additional info: Story: I wonder how long --freshen has been in there? Every time I've installed a RedHat Linux system, I've always written my own 'updaterpm' script that does effectively what --freshen does, simply because I never new it was there, being missing from --help :)
The usage of --freshen is in the output of "rpm --help" in (at least) rpm-4.0.3-0.69.
