Thanks for the patch, but it is unfortunately incomplete as with the patch applied on a recent git checkout produces the same: $ LANG=C.UTF-8 apt-get --purge autoremvoe E: Command line option --purge is not understood You might have tested this patch with other options like --install-recommends, for which it 'works'. The problem is that we started to move the apt-tools to accept only options in commands in which they are actually supported as the previous behaviour of accepting all options for all commands was confusing and could actually be dangerous if you relied on a certain option doing something, but the option was never implemented in this command… Some options aren't categorized yet, like --install-recommends, which still claims to be supported on all commands, like on clean: apt-get clean --install-recommends -s Also, it would be good if a patch supported the other apt tools and not just works with apt-get. Especially 'apt' comes to mind. So, its probably better to change getCommandArgs to do something clever on a Cmd == NULL as the FIXME in the code suggests, its just that this needs to keep support for stuff like "apt-get -h", which is why there is a FIXME and not an error message in its place already.
