Bug#33384: ispell: new -x problem



Package: ispell
Version: 3.1.20-0.5

The -x option to ispell which is supposed to make it not write a backup file
now causes it to exit, displaying a usage message.

I first noticed this in mutt, which calls ispell with the -x option.  Further
investigation shows this:

$ ispell file.txt

(works normally)

$ ispell -x file.txt 
Usage: ispell [-dfile | -pfile | -wchars | -Wn | -t | -n | -x | -b | -S | -B | -C | -P | -m | -Lcontext | -M | -N | -Ttype | -V] file .....

It's possible this was broken when fixing earlier problems with the -x option.
