Bug#820572: apt-ftparchive: apt-ftparchive generate does not recognize '-c=file'

[Thilo Six <debian@Xk2c.de>]

Package: apt-utils
Version: 1.2.9
Severity: normal

Hello

i just noticed this does work:
root # apt-ftparchive generate config_file

but this does not work:
root # apt-ftparchive -c=config_file generate

it is possible that i am wrong here, but from reading apt-ftparchive(1) i
thought these two are expected to be equivalent.  ?


kind regards,

     Thilo
