[debiandoc-sgml-pkgs] Bug#218529: lack of an error message

thanks

The complete lack of any error message on stderr to accompany the
nonzero exit status is not just a missing feature, it is a bug.

The fact that I described the behaviour as silly (which it is) doesn't
mean that it doesn't need to be fixed.  (Obviously.)

Ardo said he'd arrange for the error message to go to stderr.  I think
when that is done it would be reasonable to regard the remaining
complaint (that the error message isn't very useful, and suggests
running the program again) as a wishlist item.

Ian.
