Description François MASSON 2009-04-08 20:57:24 UTC 
dev-db/mytop-1.6 incompatible usage of perl-core/Getopt-Long-2.38

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
~ # mytop
Error in option spec: "long|!"
Actual Results:  
application doesn't launch

Expected Results:  
application launch

The offending statment in mytop is on line 159 :
    "long|!"               => \$config{long_nums},


According to documentation of getopt::long the | does not make any sens here.
I don't known if this is a wrong usage by mytop or overzealous syntax checking by getopt::long

Quick fixe :
remove the | on this line
