Package: netcat6
Version: 1.0-8
Severity: normal
The netcat manpage documents a -C switch that supposedly sends CRLF line
endings. But if I try to use it, I get:
nc: internal error: invalid option -- C (netcat was compiled with
--disable-crlfoption)
(please report this error to nc6 authors)
I looked at the package source code, and found that this feature comes
from a Debian patch, it's not part of the upstream code. I also tried
building the package, and I think I realized the actual problem:
configure.ac gets patched, but the build process never reruns autoconf.
The configure script that gets run has absolutely no mention of 'crlf'.
