[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: findutils
Version: 4.2.28-1
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/locate
locate produces the following:
Usage: locate [-d path | --database=path] [-e | -E | --[non-]existing]
[-i | --ignore-case] [-w | --wholename] [-b | --basename]
[--limit=N | -l N] [-S | --statistics] [-0 | --null] [-c | --count]
[-P | -H | --nofollow] [-L | --follow] [-m | --mmap ] [ -s | --stdio ]
[-A | --all] [-p | --print] [-r | --regex ] [--regextype=TYPE]
[-version] [--help]
pattern...
Report bugs to <bug-findutils@gnu.org>.
Yet if you run locate -version, it tries to break it up into short
options, and barfs on the 'v'.
locate --version works correctly:
