Package: apt Version: 1.2.3 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
When apt(8) is involed with a non-existing subcommand and an option, an error is reported about the option rather than about the subcommand: > % apt lits --upgradable > E: Command line option --upgradable is not understood in combination with the > other options Would it be posible, instead, to report first errors about non-existing subcommands?
