Package: binutils
Version: 2.18.1~cvs20080103-1
Severity: minor
ar -h lists
ar [emulation options] [-]{dmpqrstx}[abcfilNoPsSuvV] [member-name] [count]
archive-file file
while the manpage does
ar [-X32_64] [-]p[mod [relpos] [count]] archive [member...]
and indeed when extracting [member-name] must be behind archive, e.g.
ar x some.deb control.tar.gz
and [relpos] is used to denote the member after which something is added
in the archive like in
ar qa debian-binary some.deb x
So I suggest to adjust the help to online help ar -h to:
ar [emulation options] [-]{dmpqrstx}[abcfilNoPsSuvV] [relpos] [count] archive
[member...]
