Package: wget
Version: 1.13.4-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The following quote from the wget man page says it is OK to use the option 
--output-document=-:

>   -O file
>   --output-document=file
>       The documents will not be written to the appropriate files, but all
>       will be concatenated together and written to file.  If - is used as
>       file, documents will be printed to standard output, disabling link
>       conversion.

However when that option is used, wget gives the error message shown below:

% /usr/bin/wget --output-document=- debian.org
-k can be used together with -O only if outputting to a regular file.

Since I did not use -k, please make wget not imply that I used -k.

Also note that when this bug happens, wget fails to download any data.

Myth TV's utility, mythfilldatabase, calls wget in this way which means
that Myth TV cannot get the data it needs.
