Package: libpopt-dev
Version: 1.14-4
Severity: wishlist

The otherHelp field cannot be set, therefore poptPrintHelp always printf

   Usage: progname [OPTIONS...]

and never prints an argument list. otherHelp is defined in poptint.h, but
an utility is missing for setting it. Something like the following would
suffice:

void poptSetOtherHelp(poptContext con, const char *alt)
{
        con->otherHelp = strdup(alt);
}
