Bug#1063768: debuginfod: man page gives an outdated equivalent of -U
Package: debuginfod
Version: 0.188-2.1
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream
Control: found -1 0.190-1
Related to the bug I recently opened regarding a missing dependency on
libarchive-tools, debuginfod(8) says:
-U Activate DEB/DDEB patterns in archive scanning. The default is
off. Equivalent to -Z .deb='dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile'
-Z .ddeb='dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile'.
but that hasn't been true since at least upstream version 0.184. What it
is now equivalent to is these commands quoted from debuginfod.cxx, if I'm
reading the code correctly:
case 'U':
scan_archives[".deb"]="(bsdtar -O -x -f - data.tar\\*)<";
scan_archives[".ddeb"]="(bsdtar -O -x -f - data.tar\\*)<";
scan_archives[".ipk"]="(bsdtar -O -x -f - data.tar\\*)<";
// .udeb too?
break;
Thanks,
