So it does. [1]

For curiosity's sake, what version of xv do you have?  It seems it was
removed from the archive after 3.10a-26 or so but snapshot.debian.org
only has 3.10a-20.

gs experts: is this an error in usage or is something terribly wrong?
Even in the former case the error message could be improved.

Thanks for a clear report.

Regards,
Jonathan
