merlin, since you submitted this package in the first place, would you like to own it now?

[Comment 2 Cory Visi (RETIRED) 2006-05-24 15:56:14 UTC]

The sad answer to this bug is that this version of wipe does not support pathnames in the file parameter.  I will upgrade wipe to a beta version (2.3.0) dated 05/09/2005 which seems to "fix" this problem.

Needs a maintainer...

Alec needs to follow his own friggin guidelines; adding maintainer-needed to cc.
