Bug#673027: xkbcomp bad parsing of -w option
Package: x11-xkb-utils
Version: 7.5+5
Severity: minor
xkbcomp's warning-level option only works if the numeric argument comes
in a separate command-line argument from the "-w". E.g., "xkbcomp -w 3
t0.xkb" and "xkbcomp -w 4 t0.xkb" work, and produce different degrees
of verbosity. But "xkbcomp -w3 t0.xkb" and "xkbcomp -w4 t0.xkb" both
produce no warnings, as far as I can see.
There is no explicit indication that the option was badly formed.
The numeric argument is not being treated as an option, nor is the
filename argument being consumed as the argument to "-w". It just
silently goes wrong.
