No, that was the case - while I had 3.1.0 on my local
Debian, on the remote Solaris, the version 3.0.9 did
not support the '--info' option.

Not necessarily. There is a thing, which they sometimes
call "graceful degradation", which basically means the
core task or functionality is still carried out,
regardless of some inconsistencies on the
surface. (HTML rendering is a good example of this.)
Anyway that wasn't the case here - which I think makes
sense.
PS. I send this to the list as well if anyone has the
same problem and uses Google (or whatever) to find
this. DS.
