{ man pkcon; } : SYNOPSIS : pkcon [search] [debug install] [remove] That means that you can pass up to three keywords, all optional, in fixed order. So let’s try then: { pkcon; } <-- Usage: pkcon [OPTION...] PackageKit Console Program PackageKit Console Interface Subcommands: get-actions get-groups get-filters get-transactions get-time search [name|details|group|file] [data] install [packages] install-local [files] download [directory] [packages] install-sig [type] [key_id] [package_id] remove [package] update <package> refresh [--force] resolve [package] get-updates get-depends [package] get-requires [package] get-details [package] get-distro-upgrades get-files [package] get-update-detail [package] get-packages repo-list repo-enable [repo_id] repo-disable [repo_id] repo-set-data [repo_id] [parameter] [value]; what-provides [search] Help Options: -?, --help Show help options --help-all Show all help options Application Options: --version Show the program version and exit --filter Set the filter, e.g. installed --root Set the install root, e.g. '/' or '/mnt/ltsp' -n, --nowait Exit without waiting for actions to complete -y, --noninteractive Install the packages without asking for confirmation --background Run the command using idle network bandwidth and also using less power -p, --plain Print to screen a machine readable output, rather than using animated widgets -c, --cache-age The maximum metadata cache age. Use -1 for 'never'. -h, --help Show help options. -v, --verbose Show debugging information for all files --> Clearly, both descriptions cannot be correct at the same time.
I tried { help2man pkcon; } but the help text is incompatible with help2man. Besides, the usage string is no good: : pkcon [OPTION...] PackageKit Console Program means "PackageKit Console Program" are required arguments.
I'm not sure what to put there. A patch would be very much appreciated! :)
(In reply to comment #2) > I'm not sure what to put there. A patch would be very much appreciated! :) Let’s start with fixing the Usage string. How about the following start? <-- pkcon - PackageKit Command Line Utility Usage: pkcon [$OPTION ...] $SUBCOMMAND --> If we agree to this, maybe I could fix the layout so that help2man would produce something that actually makes sense.
We moved the upstream bugtracker to GitHub a long time ago. If this issue still affects you please re-create the issue here: https://github.com/hughsie/PackageKit/issues Sorry for the impersonal message, and fingers crossed your issue no longer happens. Thanks.
