Description Slobodan D. Sredojevic 2005-03-10 12:27:44 UTC

If a user issue this command
emerge -pvu -deep world then portage should report error in command line parameters as user forgot an dash(-) before deep.  Portage instead returns some verbose/debug output.

So far when we call non existing emerge switch as emerge -r mozilla portage returns:
!!! Error: -r is an invalid short action or option.
On the other hand non existing option as emerge --real mozilla returns:
!!! Error: --real is an invalid option.

Tried emerge -pretend mozilla but it is ok with emerge output. This -deep is kinda special? Seems emerge interprets it as first letter of --debug option (that has (-d) short)?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
