Package: extrepo
Version: 0.8
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]

Dear Maintainer,

Here's a sample interaction:

--8<--
$ extrepo --help
Usage:
/usr/bin/extrepo search search for repositories
/usr/bin/extrepo update update a repository to the latest metadata
/usr/bin/extrepo disable        disable an extrepo-configured repository
/usr/bin/extrepo enable (re-)enable an extrepo repository

For more info, please read extrepo(1)
syntax error at (eval 13) line 1, near "Debian::ExtRepo::Commands::--"
        ...propagated at /usr/bin/extrepo line 123.

$ extrepo help
Undefined subroutine &Debian::ExtRepo::Commands::Help::run called at (eval 13)
line 1.
        ...propagated at /usr/bin/extrepo line 123.
--8<--

Firstly, the syntax error is somewhat unseemly.  The second, is that, typically
for a command with sub-commands, 'help' is usually an useful subcommand.  Also,
often, help on subcommands is found on one or both of:

  extrepo help search
  extrepo search --help

Neither of with has useful behaviour,

--8<--
$ extrepo help search
Undefined subroutine &Debian::ExtRepo::Commands::Help::run called at (eval 13)
line 1.
        ...propagated at /usr/bin/extrepo line 123.

$ extrepo search --help


No matches found for --help
--8<--
