Package: dvipdfm
Version: 0.13.2-3
Severity: important

I can't get dvipdfm to work AT ALL.  Whenever I run it with
any options, it only prints the help message, and I have no
idea why.  For example:

ssb22:/tmp$ ls -l test.dvi
-rw-rw-r--    1 ssb22    ssb22         616 Jul 16 11:48 test.dvi
ssb22:/tmp$ xdvi test.dvi  # works OK
ssb22:/tmp$ which dvipdfm
/usr/bin/dvipdfm
ssb22:/tmp$ dvipdfm test.dvi

I've got a private E-Mail from the submitter. He can't reproduce it
either. So it was probably a bug in 0.13.2b, which has been fixed in
0.13.2c (the version in unstable/testing).

-> Closing.
