Description Mike Kelly (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-28 14:43:28 UTC
Sometimes spaces between words in the description of some actions or modules are dropped, so instead of seeing:

  has <module>              Gives no output. Returns true if the module is 
                            installed, and false otherwise.

one sees:

  has <module>              Gives no output. Returns true ifthe module is 
                            installed, and false otherwise. 

(Note that "if the" is stuck together as "ifthe".)

Not sure yet if this is a flaw in the help action, or in the output code in general.

Hrm, this has been reported before, but i couldn't yet reproduce it.
Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-02-05 09:06:55 UTC
Try with 1.0.10 or newer please, can't reproduce either and this bug doesn't move anywhere. :/
