[Bug 1732667] Re: rmadison --no-conf option not supported

[Eric Desrochers]

I can reproduce the situation, it seems like the "--" of "--noconf" or
"--no-conf" is not taken into account if not place as the first ARG.

Unknown option: no-conf
Unknown option: noconf

Example :
rmadison -s trusty --no-conf devscripts
rmadison -u debian,ubuntu --noconf devscripts

* If the "no conf" option is place as first ARG, then it passes without
error.

I haven't read the code yet, but before going further, could you please
confirm the --no-conf and --noconf work as expected if pass as first ARG
? to make sure the feature is functioning as it should.

Title:
  rmadison --no-conf option not supported

Status in devscripts package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  According to the manual of rmadison:

         --no-conf, --noconf
             don't read the devscripts configuration files

  While trying to use it:

   rmadison -u debian,ubuntu --no-conf apulse
  Unknown option: no-conf
  Usage: rmadison [OPTION] PACKAGE[...]
  […]

  rmadison -u debian,ubuntu --noconf apulse                                                1 ↵
  Unknown option: noconf
  Usage: rmadison [OPTION] PACKAGE[...]
  […]

  Don't know if the manpage should be updated, the rmadison in ubuntu is
  out of date or something else?
