Folks, I'd like to direct your attention to bug #269067. In this case, had the bugwrangler(yngwin) asked for paludis --info the bug could have been RESO INVALID without it getting to me. I wouldn't have wasted ~30 minutes deciding that the user was being crazy. So yes, paludis --info can come in handy, and I found it useful in this case. -- --------- Thomas Anderson Gentoo Developer ///////// Areas of responsibility: AMD64, Secretary to the Gentoo Council ---------
