[Bug 1721648] Re: lsmem -v replaced with -V

[Heinz-Werner Seeck]

I run a short test :
root at m3545034:~# lsmem --v
lsmem from util-linux 2.34
root at m3545034:~# lsmem -V
lsmem from util-linux 2.34
root at m3545034:~# lsmem -v
lsmem: invalid option -- 'v'
Try 'lsmem --help' for more information.

Can the testcase be changed to --v ? 
or is there a need for an upstream change in util-linux ?

Title:
  lsmem -v replaced with -V

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Incomplete
Status in s390-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The -v options is no longer valid, as -V has replaced it.
  This is not really a big issue but it seem odd as this is a shift away from the standard -v option used by most of the other utilities in the s390-tools package and forces modification of tests and tools that collect the versions.

  ubuntu at s5lp7:~$ lsmem -v
  lsmem: invalid option -- 'v'
  Try 'lsmem --help' for more information.
  ubuntu at s5lp7:~$ lsmem -V
  lsmem from util-linux 2.30.1
