Usage: ucf [options] new_file destination Options: -h, --help print this message -s foo, --src-dir foo Set the src dir (historical md5sums live here) --sum-file bar Force the historical md5sums to be read from this file.

Used mostly for testing. --debconf-ok Indicate that it is ok for ucf to use an already running debconf instance for prompting. --debconf-template bar Specify an alternate, caller-provided debconf template to use for prompting. Usage: ucf -p destination -p, --purge Remove any reference to destination from records By default, the directory the new_file lives in is assumed to be the src-dir, which is where we look for any historical md5sums. expected: does dry run as it should without error. This is because it tries to save the -n argument then use it to call itself again. But when saving the argument, it runs echo -n, expecting the output to be -n, but it's actually an empty string, so it saves that emptry string and passes that instead of -n.
