Folks, I'd like to direct your attention to bug #269067. In this case, |
| 12 |
had the bugwrangler(yngwin) asked for paludis --info the bug could have |
| 13 |
been RESO INVALID without it getting to me. I wouldn't have wasted ~30 |
| 14 |
minutes deciding that the user was being crazy. |
| 15 |

So yes, paludis --info can come in handy, and I found it useful in this |
| 17 |
case. |
