Bug#1068496: [manpage] notify-send(1): inaccurate "-A" option description

[Frank Mascal]

Package: libnotify-bin
Version: 0.8.1-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi,

(Note that it impacts unstable despite being reported against bookworm)

There is an error in the documentation of notify-send(1), i quote:

> -A, --action=[NAME=]Text...
>	  Specifies the actions to display to the user. Implies --wait to wait
>	  for user input. May be set multiple times. The NAME of the action is
>	  output to stdout. If NAME is not specified, the numerical index of
>	  the option is used (starting with 1).

It's not starting with 1, but 0. Run this in a terminal and click "See log":

notify-send -i /usr/share/icons/vendor/64x64/emblems/emblem-vendor.png \
            -A "See log" -t 2000 \
            "Unattended-upgrade" "Some upgrades were applied\!"

To check it out.

Cheers,

Frank.
