Bug#299037: apt-ftparchive: Separate the output in standard output and standard error
Hi,
since I fell for this again, leaving me with a useless Packages.gz-file,
I wrote a small patch, so usage information is written to stderr instead
of stdout. Please include it in the next version. Thanks!
Cheers,
Wolf
