Description Mike MacCana 2002-08-28 10:52:57 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux)

Description of problem:
Good work on the app - its *really* slick. 

I was looking for documentation on redhat-config-packages. Since it doesn't have a man page or anything in /usr/share/doc, I tried:

redhat-config-packages -help

The application then crashed ungracefully:

[root@localhost SPECS]# redhat-config-packages -help
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/MainWindow.py", line 114, in ?
    (args, extra) = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], 't:', ['tree=','isodir='])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/getopt.py", line 74, in getopt
    opts, args = do_shorts(opts, args[0][1:], shortopts, args[1:])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/getopt.py", line 124, in do_shorts
    if short_has_arg(opt, shortopts):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/getopt.py", line 140, in short_has_arg
    raise GetoptError('option -%s not recognized' % opt, opt)
getopt.GetoptError: option -h not recognized

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run redhat-config-packages with an argument it doesn't understand
2.Watch the output

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2002-08-28 20:38:47 UTC
--help should work in 0.94.  I've also added a README file to CVS which will be
in the next build

Comment 2 John Thacker 2006-04-22 04:13:29 UTC
Long fixed, RH 8 not supported, and s-c-p isn't shipped anymore.  (Pirut
replaced s-c-p.)  Closing.
