Bug 37985 – "repoman help" error in 2.0.50_pre13

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2004-01-12 10:01:08 UTC]

Even if this isn't a valid command, it probably shouldn't generate this output...

kaf ~/portage $ repoman help

This happens even when using "repoman --help" which should be valid

[Comment 2 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) 2004-01-12 12:10:57 UTC]

Fixed for _pre14

[Comment 3 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) 2004-02-08 17:55:31 UTC]

supposed to be fixed in 2.0.50 which is stable now. If this bug is not fixed please reopen.
