[Cupt-devel] Bug#683982: cupt: "show" should remove dots of blank lines when printing descriptions

[Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo]

Package: cupt
Version: 2.5.8
Severity: minor

Hi,

I think that the dots should be removed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ cupt show cupt | grep -A 8 "^Description" 2>/dev/null 
E: the release 'http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian unstable' has expired (expiry time 'Sun, 20 May 2012 14:22:10 UTC')
W: skipped the index 'http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian unstable main (binary)'
W: skipped the index 'http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian unstable contrib (binary)'
W: skipped the index 'http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian unstable non-free (binary)'
Description: alternative front-end for dpkg -- console interface
 This package provides a console interface to Cupt library, which is a
 re-implementation of libapt-pkg C++ library. The aim is to produce
 more strict, more robust, less buggy front-end than APT.
 .
 Cupt uses the same APT infrastructure, e.g. index files, deb cache archive
 files, configuration files. It understands some of widely used APT options.
 .
 Some features:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Additionally, perhaps the Errors and Warnings should be printed to stderr, so my
command above would work as intended :-)

And if I understand the intention of the Errors and Warnings, I think that there
should be only a Warning instead of an Error in the first line telling that the
program is using not fully up-to-date files (and not the others).  The rest is
superfluous for a normal user and common operations, IMO.


Cheers.
