Sorry, completely my fault. I changed the signature of the method used
to get the candidate version of a package slightly, but i forgot that the
method is virtual, so depending on where the method is called it uses either
the right (as before) or a fallback method which is good enough in other
cases but not in that one (a bit more complicated then that, but that
should be the essence).
The fallback causes that e.g. the -t option has no effect,
but you should be able to use the explicit requests like
package/release and package=version.
Again, sorry & will be fixed in the next upload…
… and while healing my wounds from your hard punishments for this
silliness, i will hope for the next c++ standard [0]. ;)
Best regards,
